Rum Pogo Spirit

This rum matured for five years in fine oak casks, which gave it a balanced profile rich in vanilla, caramel and orange. For the finish it went into an old Williams pear cask, bringing subtle notes of ripe pear and pineapple and a complexity of its own. It comes in a black stoneware bottle with swing-top stopper and the Pogo Spirit logo burnt in, packed in recycled cardboard. The distillery serves it neat or in cocktails, and gives a Piña Colada Deluxe: 5 cl Pogo Spirit rum, 5 cl pressed pineapple juice, 3 cl puréed young coconut (or coconut milk) and sugar-cane syrup to taste, shaken hard on ice and strained into a glass full of ice, garnished with fresh pineapple or an orange wedge. 0.5 l and 0.1 l.
