Privateer Cask #108 New England Rum | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: “Still melting dribbling down your hand toffee, rich butterscotch”
Palate: “The first sip gives you a total mouth feel , like somebody is coating your tongue in a dark rich melted sugar , strangely not sweet though, followed by ripe pineapple sauted in a frypan of rich Demerara sugar haphazardly drizzled with maple syrup.”
Finish: “Medium length dry finish.”
Distillery Information
The details are murky, but family lore has it that my great-great-great-grandfather, John Jacob Wight, took over a failing whiskey distillery in the Hunt Valley, north of Baltimore, Maryland, sometime during the 1850s and began producing Sherwood Rye Whiskey. He built the distillery up and in 1868 sold a controlling interest to Edward Hyatt. Around that same time, our families merged, and the distillery continued to grow to the point that in the late 1870s the US Army was stockpiling Sherwood Rye Whiskey for medicinal purposes.As the Second World War came to an end, Georges Bnitah and his brothers discovered whisky in Casablanca, where many American bases were located. Returning to Paris in the mid-1950s, they immediately decided they wanted to share this little-known product in France and it quickly became a passion.
