Raising Glasses Filumena 3yr Canadian Single Cask Rum

Raising Glasses is an American independent bottler run by Lorri and John, a husband-and-wife team of longtime Scotch collectors who select their own casks and bottle them in 375ml under their own label, and Filumena is their single cask from Romero Distilling in Calgary, Alberta, one of the few distilleries making serious aged rum in Canada. Romero ferments Canadian molasses and runs it through both pot and column stills, and this cask took an unusual path through wood: it was first matured in a Woodford Reserve bourbon barrel, then moved into a Jerez sherry cask where it finished for more than three years, which is why the bottle carries a three-year statement despite the earlier bourbon-barrel time. It was bottled at cask strength, 58.1% ABV, with no sugar, coloring or other additives, in a run of 320 bottles. Raising Glasses describes it as succulently rich and silky with dark fruit, burnt caramel and soft tannins, and a retailer's tasting found white chocolate hot cocoa, apple, vanilla and strawberry wafer on the nose with an earthier palate of rhubarb pie and dough. Cold-climate aging keeps the oak gentle, so the sherry cask does most of the talking. 375ml bottle.
