Eight Bells Rum

At the heart of New England Distilling is a custom designed, hand-made copper pot-still. The design of the still allows us to produce robust whiskeys and rums alongside clean, crisp gin. The still is heated with direct fire which creates more caramelizing reactions in the pot leading to a more complex, robust spirit. The spirit leaves the pot and passes through two thumpers, driving the proof up and picking up “flavor compounds on its way to the worm where it is cooled and condensed back into a liquid. The spirit is collected as it leaves the worm, and matured in oak barrels or, as with our Ingenium Gin, allowed to rest a while and get its wits about it before bottling.

Eight Bells Rum is a barrel matured dark rum with flavors of toasted spice and vanilla with a long, smooth finish reminiscent of caramel, oak and figs.
