About this bottle

John Emerald Gene's Spice Flavored Rum comes from John Emerald Distilling Company in Opelika, Alabama, one of the first rum producers in the state since Prohibition. It's distilled on a hybrid pot still from Alabama cane syrup and muscavado sugar, then steeped with cinnamon, vanilla, star anise, and Alabama pecans before bottling at 40% ABV. The nose opens warm and baking-spiced, with cinnamon and orange leading into a palate of vanilla and toasted pecan, finishing with a light anise snap and a touch of dryness. It's a rum built for cooler months and slow sipping, and it holds its own in a spiced cocktail without disappearing into the mixer. Good for anyone who wants Southern character in their bar cart.

How to drink John Emerald Gene's Spice Flavored Rum

Serve it over a single large rock to let the spice open up, or reach for it in a dark and stormy or spiced rum old fashioned where its cinnamon and pecan notes have room to work. Neat pours drink warm at 40% ABV, so a splash of ginger beer suits it better than sipping it straight if you want something lighter.
