Cutwater Three Sheets Barrel Aged Rum

Cutwater three sheets white rum Aged 2 years in bourbon barrels. Oaky on the front end, with bitter wood tannins. A nice dark color, but in the rum world that can signify anything. This is a good spirit, and credit for making it so affordable despite the obvious aging process duration. I need to taste the base rum to provide a true assessment, but something feels absent here. Not that it's bad. It's not. I enjoy it. It's just not as memorable as I had hoped it would be.

The aromas are of sweet sugar cane. The flavors are spot on. The burn isn't harsh, yet it's oh so good. A very good rum.

Shows similarities to young bourbon.

A well-balanced aged rum.
