While the rest of our rum came and went, these three were left alone in a quiet corner, untouched and waiting. That’s why we call them The Lost Casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe tasted them as the years passed, and this year we knew they were ready. Standing in the distillery passing the glass back and forth, we were amazed: deep, sweet and beautifully fragrant, with a vanilla richness that stopped us both in our tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTwo of the casks had once held bourbon, and their American oak had given the rum that rich vanilla and real depth. The third had held sherry, and it added sweetness and fruit. Together, they made the oldest and most complex rum we have ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe blended the three casks into one small batch and bottled it at 52% ABV. There was only enough for 30 bottles. We’re keeping a few for ourselves, and the other 25 are here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEvery bottle is numbered by hand and comes gift boxed, with a handwritten note from Russ and Gemma. This is a single release, and there won’t be another. When these 25 bottles are gone, The Lost Casks will be gone with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePour it neat. Add a drop of water if you like, to open up the vanilla, then take your time over it. This rum waited five years; it’s worth a slow glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e52% ABV, 70cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-year-old British rum, aged in two ex-bourbon casks and one ex-sherry cask\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnly 30 hand-numbered bottles, 25 for sale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGift boxed, with a handwritten note from Russ and Gemma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from scratch in Devon, from molasses to bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBritish rum, from an all-electric distillery powered by 100% renewable energy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegan, B Corp certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Two Drifters Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58908012380543,"sku":"TDRLC70cL","price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/6011\/2539\/files\/TheLostCasks_hero_1536x2048_d651731c-1195-4c64-b670-3a945013a836.jpg?v=1792668184","url":"https:\/\/twodriftersrum.com\/products\/the-lost-casks-only-25-bottles","provider":"Two Drifters Distillery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
