With a rich mix of warm and savory spices, Amburana found an incredible match with rum. Lets start with what this rum is. Rolling Fork is one of my favorite independent bottlers in the country. They source and bottle cask strength rum without additives. For Odyssey, Rolling Fork batched two barrels of 9-year Foursquare rum and two barrels of 11-year Foursquare rum. These barrels were aged in ex-bourbon, Amburana and toasted ex-bourbon barrels. The layered complexity of this rum is insane! It starts with some usual notes of cinnamon spice and brown sugar. That builds to a reduced cola syrup and dark chocolate and toffee. This is all met with a sweet black pepper finish. This is a release you won’t want to miss.
