Description
Holmes Cay Rum curates a continuously evolving collection of exceptional rums, distilled and presented without additives. Single Cask selections are aged in cask, while Single Origin editions are younger single expressions or blends.
The Holmes Cay Trinidad 2012 12 Year edition comes 2 casks from the now defunct 10 Cane distillery in Trinidad.
These rare and special barrels give a beloved young rum a second life as an aged rum. During 10 Cane’s existence, there were several different formulations. The original, artisanal version of 10 Cane was chosen for this edition. In it, fresh cane juice underwent a five-day, low temperature fermentation with specialized yeast strains. It was then double-distilled in small batches in French pot stills and aged in French oak ex-cognac barrels for one year.
When production in Trinidad ceased, the original cane juice, pot still distillate was left aging in ex-cognac barrels in the tropics for 4 years, with a further 5 years maturation in the UK in ex-rum casks. The rum then spent another 3 years in ex-rum in New York state, transforming the light-bodied mixing rum flavors into a mature and layered taste profile. It was bottled at barrel proof, or 59% ABV.
