The Single Barrel Selection (S.B.S) 2009 Venezuela is a limited edition rum with only 283 bottles produced. This unique rum was distilled using a column still in 2009 with molasses and matured in a single ex-bourbon cask. Bottled at cask strength, 54.9% ABV, in August 2023, it was processed with no chill filtering or additives, maintaining its pure essence.
The aroma offers a subtle spiciness, complemented by the warmth of bourbon vanilla and delicate, dry undertones. Upon tasting, the palate begins with an initial burst of spiciness, followed by the comforting sweetness of brown sugar, finishing satisfyingly dry.
