In 2024, the Brut de Fût range from the Ferroni bottler will be enhanced with three new references.
One of these vintages is made from an Australian molasses rum. Distilled in 2013 in a pot still, it was aged in two stages to reach a total of 11 years:
- A first tropical maturation of three years in American oak barrels. With this maturation the rum is subjected to high heat, humidity and very little temperature variation.
- A second Mediterranean aging where summers are very hot and dry, and winters are cold. This aging accelerates maturation in the same way as a 100% tropical aging, but with a higher angels' share. For this phase, the cellar master used ex-muscat French oak barrels from Beaumes-de-Venise for 3 years, then vintage Cognac barrels for the last 4 years.
This rum is not reduced before bottling.
