Just over 2 months ago I ran my first batch of rum through the Bubbler. At the time i was asking a lot of questions about aging and barrel types, I was also hoping to buy a decent sized barrel new from "Roll Out The Barrel". For variouse reasons that still hasnt happened.
I ended up putting 5L of the rum in a old 5L barrel that had previously had a mix of cheap Port and Muskat in it.
After extensive taste testing at the Draino residence last night we decieded it was time to bottle it.
Decanted it into a demijohn today and I reckon its pretty bloody good for my first go. It came out a much deeper colour than i thought it would and tastes damn good.
No photos at this stage, but they will appear soon.
