Black Frost Distilling Small Batch Rum Review

Distilled from 100 percent Louisiana blackstrap molasses and matured in a mix of new and used barrels, this Minnesota-made rum packs plenty of character. Tropical fruit notes brighten its rich molasses base, while assertive new oak brings sweetness to the finish. At 46 percent ABV, it’s expressive without ever feeling too heavy-handed.
