Cutwater Spirits Three Sheets Barrel Aged Rum

Cutwater Three Sheets Barrel Aged Rum is the aged expression from Cutwater's rum lineup — the house white rum aged like a bourbon for a minimum of two years in virgin American oak barrels, developing the toffee, caramel, vanilla, and tobacco complexity that extended oak aging imparts while maintaining the clean cane sugar base character of the Three Sheets production program.

Aging rum in virgin American oak — standard for bourbon production but unusual for rum, which typically uses previously filled bourbon barrels — produces a more assertive oak character and deeper caramel extraction than used barrels achieve. The result is a barrel-aged rum with whiskey-adjacent complexity suited to classic whiskey cocktails with a rum twist, and best appreciated neat or over a single ice cube.
