Description
FULL DESCRIPTION
Smooth, cask-aged Barbados rum inspired by the ways in which gin distillers make use of botanicals, Union 55 uses a unique 55-day maceration process, taking great care to extract their flavours. Using a composition of cardamom, clove, vanilla, cacao and almond, Union 55 then add a touch of organic Añana sea salt to the rum. Its purity and mineral content ensure it perfectly complements the rum’s natural sweetness.

Connoisseur
Rum is a spirit made exclusively by fermenting sugarcane or its bi-products, these being molasses and sugarcane juice. There are no real rules when it comes to rum production making it a very large and varied category. The process of making this spirit is a combination of fermentation and distillation.
