New Grove 2007 Single Cask Rum (cask 174) 70cl

Half of this rum matured in new French oak and half was matured in ex-Cognac French oak before they were brought together at a natural strength of 65%. It was then slowly diluted over 3 years to 55% to temper the new wood tannins and harness the old wood smoothness. It was finally gradually diluted to the bottling strength of 49.9% ABV. The outturn was 526 bottles.
