CAPTAIN STONE JOHANNESBURG RUM

• Vanilla and oak is predominant and immediately identifiable. Smooth caramel and banana become evident in the middle, and a slight char imparted by the Bourbon barrel rounds the taste experience. Stuart Stanley Stone was a Canadian Rum Runner and Captain of the Malahat, a five-mast schooner that serviced the west coast Rum Row. This was where the supply ships would anchor just off the American maritime border during the prohibition era. This rum is a salute to his sense of adventure and opportunism in breaking someone else’s rules but not his own. Distilled in our pot belly still, using 6 plates and reflux in a compound single column setup on a single batch basis. Specific cuts are made in the hearts and tails to achieve the flavour profile for Captain Stone. The rum distillate is aged in once-used Bourbon barrels to achieve the smooth characteristics of our rum. Each bottle comes from a single batch and a single barrel, maintaining its unique profile.
• ABV:43%
