Distilled in 2014 in Louisiana from molasses and cane sugar and aged eleven years in a small 15-gallon ex-rye cask, it yielded just 64 bottles — bottled as-is, with no blending, dilution, added sugar, coloring or chill filtration. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130.4 proof (65.2% ABV), barrel proof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 years (distilled 2014)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single barrel, 15-gallon ex-rye cask; 64 bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeedstock:\u003c\/strong\u003e Molasses and cane sugar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Louisiana, USA — selected by Superlative Spirits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAmerican Rum, Bottled Like Single-Cask Scotch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMainland Rum works the way Scotland's great independent bottlers do: founder Seth Benhaim hunts down mature casks of rum from distilleries across the continental United States and releases them one barrel at a time, with the origin, age, cask and strength printed right on the label. This Louisiana cask comes from sugarcane country — distilled from local molasses and cane sugar in Lacassine, in the heart of Louisiana's cane belt — where eleven years of humid Gulf Coast heat drove a fast, deep exchange between spirit and wood. Superlative Spirits picked this particular ex-rye barrel, and the rye-cask spice is part of its signature.
