Jogaila Black Rum

Jogaila Black Rum is a 38% rum from the Jogaila range of Gas Familia, presented in a 700ml bottle. It is distilled several times from 100% genuine sugar cane in a copper still, then aged in oak barrels that previously held Nestville Whisky Master Blender, an 8-year-old whisky that Jim Murray's Whisky Bible named Europe's best whisky in 2019. Ageing and blending take place in European oak vats, in storage rooms where the temperature swings from -25°C to +25°C over the year, which the producer credits with shaping the rum's character. The name honours Jogaila, Grand Duke of Lithuania and King of Poland, whose legendary keg of fermented sugar cane juice the brand celebrates as an ancestor of rum. The result is a woody, gently sweet dark rum with a soft whisky influence from the casks.

Nose: Woody aromas.

Palate: Sweetish, with a soft whisky tinge.

Serve: Neat, over ice or as the base of a rum Old Fashioned.
