American White Rum
Available Late Spring 2021
86 Proof
Mission American White Rum is the product of a fine cut molasses from mature sugarcane that is burned in the field and hand harvested. We use this cane molasses as our base for fermentation.
During fermentation, we use a propriety, high ester wine yeast to create a high gravity ‘wash’. The batch is fermented for approximately 72 hours then slowly distilled. The spirit is collected at approximately 180-proof and diluted to bottle proof with water from the prolific Kirkwood Cohansey aquifer.
