苏格兰艾雷岛首家专业朗姆酒蒸馏厂推出其首款单桶装瓶，该酒款在雪莉桶中陈酿。这款限量版朗姆酒于2022年7月18日蒸馏，属于酒厂最早的一批生产批次。酒厂由布莱恩和安德鲁·克鲁克父子于2017年创立，2021年正式开业，是艾雷岛首家专业朗姆酒蒸馏厂。
The Scottish island’s first rum distillery has unveiled its inaugural single cask expression, which has been aged in Sherry wood.
The limited release rum was distilled on 18 July 2022, during The Islay Rum Distillery’s earliest production runs.
Established in 2017 by father-and-son duo Brian and Andrew Crook, owners of independent bottling company The Vintage Malt Whisky Company, the distillery – which officially opened in 2021 – is said to be Islay’s first dedicated rum distillery.
The distillery is housed in the restored 1959 Art Deco Old Lemonade Factory in Port Ellen, where Ben Inglis leads production. Islay-native Inglis is The Islay Rum Distillery’s production director, having cut his teeth at Bowmore and Bruichladdich.
Only 326 bottles have been produced. Each 70cl bottle is bottled at 61.5% ABV and priced at £89.95.
The rum is described as having “an inviting nose of dried fruits, vanilla, sultanas and Christmas cake, with subtle hints of honey, toffee and chocolate, and a long, warm, spice-laden finish.”
