Boyd & Blair Light Silver Rum 750ml

Boyd & Blair Light Silver Rum: The Meticulously Crafted Spirit of Pennsylvania

Step into a world of refined purity with Boyd & Blair Light Silver Rum, a truly exceptional white rum crafted by the same master distillers behind the internationally acclaimed Boyd & Blair Potato Vodka. Made with the same meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to quality, this silver rum stands out in its category for its crispness, clean taste, and remarkable smoothness.

Boyd & Blair Light Silver Rum, formerly known as BLY Silver Rum, is produced at Pennsylvania Pure Distilleries in Glenshaw, Pennsylvania. Unlike many rums, Master Distiller Barry Young and his team do not compromise on ingredients, starting every batch with only supreme baking molasses. This premium molasses is carefully and slowly thinned with warm water to protect its fragile sugars, a painstaking process that lays the foundation for the rum's rich yet mellow sweetness.

The fermentation process is notably long, running for 21 to 28 days in open-air tanks. Following this extended fermentation, the rum is double distilled in a copper pot still. This deliberate, unhurried approach allows for the development of a complex flavor profile before the spirit is bottled. The rum is a pure expression, offering a clean, unaged character that highlights the quality of its base ingredients and distillation. It is bottled at 40% ABV (80 Proof), making it a versatile and approachable spirit.
