Ironworks Distillery Rum Double – National Rum Day 2022!

It’s International Rum Day! Picked up by myself at Ironworks Distillery itself just 2 weeks ago, I thought this limited edition Rum double would be absolutely perfect!

The dramatic black and white bottles were custom designed by a local ceramic artist and were produced by a 250 year old French porcelain company! The box that holds these rum treasures was created by Mike Fraser from local Lunenburg pine, hand made and etched with Stephen Bishop’s designs.

In 2018, Ironworks chose two versions of their rum, 100% fermented, double distilled and barrel aged in Lunenburg. One was 8 years old, aged in heavily charred, used Bourbon Barrels and the other a 2 year old rum aged in new Hungarian oak. They blended them together, placed them in four Bourbon barrels and in February 2018, lowered all four casks into the hold of Barque Picton Castle. A week later, they set to sea on what was her seventh circumnavigation of the world! After sailing 30,000 nautical miles and visiting 28 ports in 21 countries, Picton Castle returned in June 2019 when Ironworks started working on the bottling and packaging of this unique release.

Aged in Ex-Bourbon and new Hungarian oak barrels with at least one French oak wine barrel in the mix, Ironworks TEN Rum does NOT disappoint, officially tried and tested by myself!
