The Ida Van der Ille from the Selected Cask Community is a distinctive and unique rum hailing from Germany. This independent bottler has crafted a rum with an ABV of 33.2%, presenting an enchanting aroma laced with notes of vanilla, barrel, burnt sugar, cognac, and caramel. Its flavor profile is a harmonious blend of vanilla, honey, caramel, burnt sugar, and a subtle spiciness, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy sweetness without compromising the integrity of the rum. This German rum is a Cuvee, a meticulous blend of multiple distillates from Panama, Barbados, Trinidad, and a hint of Jamaica. These distillates, originating from molasses, were aged independently in American white oak barrels for periods ranging from three months to eight years. This careful aging process has endowed the rum with its unique color, harmony, and complexity. Ida Van der Ille (Rum Basis) is exceptional due to its use of natural aromas such as vanilla beans from controlled agriculture, ensuring no chemical interference. This results in a rum that is not artificially sweet or overwhelming but rather presents a balanced and harmonious blend of vanilla and spice, retaining the distinctive character of Caribbean rum. Ideal for those who appreciate a sweet, vanilla-forward rum yet remain loyal to their rum roots, this spirit can be savored neat, over ice, or as a versatile base for various cocktails and long drinks. The Ida Van der Ille (Rum Basis) is a delightful and versatile addition to any spirits collection.
