Editor’s Note: I apologize for this publishing late. I was traveling to the Miami Rum Fest and I wasn’t able to finish this post last week.
Louisiana Spirits introduced their latest and longest aged expression Bayou Select Rum in advance of the Miami Rum Renaissance Festival. Bayou Select is fermented with cane yeast and Louisiana sugarcane. It is distilled in American copper pot stills and rested in new American oak barrels.
When we set out to make world-class rum, we knew it would take time and patience for our rum to mature. We were pleasantly surprised when Bayou Spiced Rum was chosen as Best in Class Gold Medal at the 2014 Miami Rum Renaissance Festival. We are happy to be back this year to introduce the rum world to Bayou Select Rum in 2015. Now, we have something deliciously unique for rum connoisseurs and whiskey aficionados to savor and enjoy. – Trey Litel, President of Louisiana Spirits LLC
