Aged 4 Year is made using the traditional Cognac technique of redistilling the seconds - the transitional distillate between the rich hearts and bitter tails. The result is a spirit of outstanding quality, deep complexity, and exceptional character. Our Aged 4 Years expression is an artful blend of Queen's Share barrels aged in new and used American oak casks for no less than four years. These casks are then blended and re-barreled in neutral casks for continued aging before being bottled at cask strength. With notes of elderflower, vanilla bean, toasted almond and nutmeg, The Queen's Share Aged 4 Years is equally delicious on its own or in your favorite cocktail. Unsweetened: No post-distillation sweeteners are added, creating a dry rum. Cask Strength: bottled at a higher proof, concentrating power & depth of flavor. No Additives: Our rum is a product of spirit, water, oak, & time. No artificial oak flavor, age flavor, or dyes are used. Authentic: Fermented, distilled, aged & bottled at Privateer in Massachusetts.
