Rum from the United States
Louisiana has grown sugar cane for centuries; the Mississippi delta is warm and humid enough for it. Even so, American rum is a rarity in the Netherlands. Bayou comes from the south of that state.
The molasses comes from the oldest family-owned sugar mill in the United States. Distilling is done entirely in copper pot stills. That is more labour-intensive than a column, but it lets more character through.

A bayou is a slow-moving watercourse in the swamps of Louisiana. The name immediately places this rum in its landscape: cane fields, swamp and humid heat.
It is distilled from local molasses in copper pot stills, batch by batch. The house’s aged versions are built up in bourbon casks using a solera system. Logical, in a country where those casks are lying around for the taking.
This bottle is the white one: unaged, and so the purest expression of what the still does.
A bayou is a slow-moving watercourse in the marshes.
What this bottle goes with
White pot still rum has more character than ordinary white blended rum; in a daiquiri or mojito you notice it straight away.
Neat over ice works too, if you want to hear what the still is doing.
Call 0570 541 278 or drop in at Brink 2 in Bathmen if you would like to talk it over.
