Richland Single Estate Rum Chateau Elan Port

Richland Rum is the only single-estate rum in the United States: founders Erik and Karin Vonk grow their own sugarcane in Richland, Georgia, boil the juice into cane syrup in-house, ferment it and distill it in copper pot stills, with a first release in 2011 and a second distillery in Brunswick since 2018. Everything is aged in new American white oak and every barrel is bottled on its own. The Chateau Elan Port Cask Exchange is a limited release of Richland's Old South Georgia Rum built on a barrel exchange rather than a finish: the rum spends its first three years in a new charred American oak barrel, that barrel is then sent to Chateau Elan Winery in Braselton, Georgia, which uses it to age its port, and when the winery is done the barrel returns and the original rum goes back into the port-soaked wood to finish. Paste Magazine's tasting of the Richland line found this the best for neat sipping, with plum, raisin and red fruit over the rum's own caramel and spice, amplified oak and a smooth, rounded feel, and called it a real gem. It is a single-barrel bottling, so strength varies by barrel.
