Produced in San Antonio, Texas, Samuel Maverick Barrel-Aged Rum is crafted from Colombian Panela cane sugar and molasses fermented in-house. After being distilled on a hybrid copper pot and column still, the rum is charcoal-filtered. It is then aged for 3 years and 10 months in a 30-gallon charred oak whiskey barrel, previously used for Maverick Whiskey, and matures in the distillery’s subterranean bank vault.

There is something very classically rum about the nose. It has notes of toffee, brown sugar and vanilla but with a bright citrusy hit. After letting it breathe it begins to develop a sweeter more syrupy quality to the aroma.
On the palate it starts out light and bright but that quickly develops in to a chewy mouthfeel with tons of sweet caramel notes. The bourbon barrels come through with hints of vanilla and wood spice.
It lingers on the palate with a zesty finish that has a slight savory pepperiness.
Samuel Maverick Barrel Aged rum is a fantastic sipper and a great showing of the distillery's aging process. It's an easy sipper but maintains a strong character and can hold up to being in a cocktail as well.
