Copalli Barrel Rested Aged Rum 750ml

Copalli Barrel Rested Aged Rum: The Golden Embrace of the Belizean Rainforest

Experience the vibrant evolution of a pure spirit with Copalli Barrel Rested Aged Rum, a truly distinctive organic rum meticulously crafted in the heart of the Belizean rainforest. This expression captures the inherent freshness of Copalli's sugarcane juice rum, gracefully mellowed and enriched by a period of careful aging in oak barrels, delivering a smooth, nuanced, and exceptionally authentic taste of Belize.

Copalli Barrel Rested Aged Rum is born from the brand's unwavering "farm-to-glass" philosophy, utilizing only three pristine ingredients: organic, non-GMO heirloom sugarcane grown on the Copalli Estate, pure rainforest canopy water, and yeast. Unlike many rums made from molasses, Copalli exclusively uses freshly pressed sugarcane juice, harvested and pressed within two hours to retain its vibrant purity.

The rum's journey begins with fermentation and a precise double distillation using a combination of pot and column stills at the zero-waste Copal Tree Distillery. This distillery is designed for environmental responsibility, fueled by 100% biomass (bagasse from the sugarcane), with effluent recycled as fertilizer for the fields, minimizing its carbon footprint. After distillation, the rum is carefully transferred to ex-bourbon American oak barrels. While "barrel rested" typically implies a shorter aging period, Copalli ensures the rum develops complexity without losing its fresh character. It is aged for a minimum of 6 months, and often up to 1 year, allowing the oak to impart subtle notes of vanilla and caramel while preserving the lively character of the sugarcane. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 Proof), Copalli Barrel Rested Aged Rum is an additive-free spirit, showcasing the natural transformation of organic sugarcane by the touch of time and wood.

• Organic & Sustainable: USDA Certified 100% organic, produced with eco-conscious, zero-waste practices.
• 100% Fresh Sugarcane Juice Base: Crafted exclusively from estate-grown, organic sugarcane juice, not molasses.
