BLACKSTRAP RUM

BY CARDINAL SPIRITS, USA toDAY 10 BEST CRAFT RUM DISTILLERY

Availability: sold at Cardinal Spirits and select bottle shops in Bloomington, Indianapolis, and Fort Wayne

HOW IT WAS MADE

Robust and rogue — this is a free spirit in every way. Distilled of 100% blackstrap molasses, then aged in our very own toasted-oak Creekbend Brandy barrel, which unfurled a fruity finish. This is a limited-edition single barrel, and joins our other three rums. We are proud to be a USA Today 10Best Craft Rum Distillery!

COZY + WINTRY NOTES

dried stone fruits and raisin, banana-walnut bread, broken-in leather

HOW TO DRINK IT

it's a ringer in all your favorite rum cocktails (start with a daiquiri!) and superb on its own, too
