Undiluted, Unapologetic
Most rum is proofed down to 80 before it ever sees a bottle; the Cask Strength Three Sheets never is. What you get is the barrel's full argument — caramel and vanilla wrapped in leather, herbal spice and a long, warming finish — at a strength that rewards a few drops of water. Compare it with the standard Three Sheets Barrel Aged side by side, or shop all rum for more high-proof company.
Tasting Notes
Brand copy: caramel and subtle oak up front, leather and vanilla mid-palate, herbal spice on the long finish; full-bodied and warming at cask strength.
How to Enjoy
Neat with water on the side — add drops until the heat settles into flavor. Built for slow sipping; also the backbone of a serious Rum Old Fashioned.
Frequently Asked Questions
What proof is Three Sheets Cask Strength? It varies by barrel — typically around 128 proof (64% ABV). Never trust a fixed number on this one; check your bottle's hand-numbered label.
Is it made from molasses? No — Cutwater distills Three Sheets from evaporated cane sugar with a proprietary yeast. Don't believe retailer copy claiming molasses.
How old is it? Cutwater doesn't publish an age — and one retailer's "up to 6 years" claim contradicts the brand, so no age is stated.
