Virago Ruby Port Cask Finished Rum

An intriguingly delicious re-interpretation of  the flagship Four-Port Rum.  This delicious spirit spends months in freshly-emptied casks of ruby port from the Duoro Valley in Portugal. 

Enjoy an earthy depth from the charred ruby port casks: layered notes of campfire, brown sugar, black cherry, pipe tobacco, and leather with a finishing hint of candied almond.

This exceptional spirit was named London Spirits Competition's 2019 Rum of the Year.

750ml & 80 Proof

Tasting Notes

On the nose, fig dried plum, and black cherry. The taste of brown sugar, toasted marshmallow, campfire, pipe tobacco and leather and that Jamaican funk. A lingering, candied almond finish.

Suggested Serves

Drink on a little bit of ice. Or sip neat with a cigar.

Virago Ruby Port Cask Finished Rum Production Notes

This starts with the flagship Four Port Rum from Virago, which is a blend of four different Caribbean rums, all of different styles and flavors:

Barbados, aged 8 years, pot and column distilled
Jamaica, aged 4 years, pot distilled
Nicaragua, aged 5-8 years, column distilled
Panama, aged 6 years, column distilled

That liquid then spends months in charred, freshly-emptied casks of ruby port from Portugal, which provide wonderful smoky nuance and complexity to the flagship rum.
