Bayou Spiced Rum, Made in Louisiana, Handcrafted, Pot-distilled and Gluten Free, 40 Percent ABV, 70 cl

Product Information

At Bayou, everything is made in pot stills, one batch at a time, from locally sourced molasses. From the beginning, the brand has partnered with MA Patout & Son, the oldest family-owned and operated sugar mill in the USA. This sugar mill saves the batches of richer molasses with more fermentable sugar. Then, it sends them to the Bayou to develop their spirits. Bayou® Rum is one of the crafts distilled from locally grown, fresh Louisiana sugarcane. The Bayou® Rum Distillery opened its doors in Lacassine, LA. It uses traditional methods with state-of-the-art technology, from fermentation through distillation, maturation, and bottling. The purest expression of the rum is the unaged Bayou White, which shows the real spirit character on which the aged expressions build complexity through the wood. Bayou Rum also distills exclusively on copper pot stills, which is a key distinction. These stills produce a spirit referred to as “heavier” by distillers and spirits geeks, with more delicate congeners–flavor compounds, basically–left in the resulting spirit. It’s a less efficient, but more flavorful method that preserves more of the flavor of the Louisiana sugar cane. So with that said, let’s jump into tasting the core Bayou Rum lineup. All four weigh in at 40% ABV (80 proof).

The inspiration for Bayou Rum comes from a simple truth – that rum was the original American spirit. “We always say that the US has been producing rum for a very long time, in small batches,” Vicente explains.Not many people know Louisiana is the fifth-largest producer of sugarcane in the world. It means Louisiana grows more sugarcane than all the Caribbean islands put together,” says Bayou Rum’s master blender, Reiniel Vicente. For going on a decade, this Lacassine, Louisiana company has been entirely focused on making the most flavorful rums they can, exclusively from sugar cane grown within the U.S. This is actually more rare than one might think, as the total sugar cane production in our country–much of it is not suited to grow cane at all–doesn’t even rank in the top 10 sugar-producing nations in the world. Consequently, we import massive amounts of sugar products each year.
