The original rums from The Family Reserve line of rums are made a blend of rums that are matured in ex-bourbon barrels aged from16 to 19 years in Bermuda. This edition had an additional three years of aging in rye whiskey barrels with a combination of three rye barrel fills in the final blend. The break from family tradition was bottled at 40% abv. Let's dig in.

A bit tamer on the nose when it comes to sweetness the spice from the rye and a pleasant pepper-y character pops along with brown butter, sweet toffee and gobs of honey.
Moderate palate, once again a couple proof points would go far. Toffee, maple, a hint of syrup and plenty of pepper and oak with a touch of rye spice here. Pleasant dryness with the spices, great balance here.
Long finish again, heavy on the caramel, honey, herbal rye spice and some cracked pepper and nougat.
Easily my favorite of the two, this release has the spicy rye balance that brings tons of complexity to this rum.
