GONZALES, La., Aug. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sugarfield Spirits, producers of outstanding "Agricole-style" cane juice rum as well as molasses-based rums announced its new Port Finished Single Barrel rum. Based in Louisiana, one of the largest sugar-producing states in the U.S., Sugarfield Spirits has a true focus on the impact of terroir in all aspects of the spirit-making process, using local ingredients that reflect the season, weather, land, and the distiller's skill.
"I got the idea to start Sugarfield Spirits during a visit to a family-owned distillery in Oregon devoted to bottling an expression of Pacific Northwest fruit," says Thomas Soltau, founder of Sugarfield Spirits. "I was inspired to see what I could do with the agricultural products in Louisiana. My background in chemistry and as a neonatologist equipped me with the skills to test how to use local fruits to make delicious spirits. I worked through the LSU business incubator to create the business and hosted the Grand Opening in January 2020. We are focusing on rum in Louisiana as it is made with one of the largest products grown in the area. We are blessed with an abundance of sugarcane products from raw cane juice to raw cane sugar to blackstrap molasses. Using these natural ingredients to craft creative styles of rum is my passion."
Sugarfield Spirits Port Finished Single Barrel Rum
Sugarfield Spirits Port Finished Single Barrel Rum is made from a blend of raw cane sugar and black strap molasses. All of the sugar and molasses come from Belle Rose, LA, just across the Mississippi River from the distillery. This is situated in the peaceful bayou country about 30 miles south of Baton Rouge and 60 miles west of New Orleans. The raw cane sugar and black strap molasses are combined with water and yeast and then fermented. The fermented product is distilled and then aged in a variety of barrels including new charred oak, used bourbon, barrels previously used to age Port wine, and other barrels. The finest barrels of aged rum are selected for this single barrel bottling.
This exquisite Port Finished Single Barrel Rum has captivating aromas of sugar on the nose. The palate has abundant dark cherries and plums, with a hint of vanilla, a touch of pepper, and nice spiciness from the French oak. The Sugarfield Spirits Port Finished Single Barrel Rum is surprisingly smooth despite being bottled at 55.5% ABV or 111 proof.
