The Epris Distillery Single Cask Aged 12 Years Cadenhead’s Rum is a unique and intriguing offering that showcases the quality and diversity of Brazilian rum. Epris Distillery, located in São Roque near São Paulo, Brazil, is known for producing a variety of spirits, but their rum is less commonly seen, especially as a single cask release.

This 12-year-old rum, distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2024, was matured in an ex-bourbon cask. Cadenhead’s, an independent bottler with a keen eye for exceptional casks, selected this cask for its unique character and the complex flavours it imparted to the rum.

The ex-bourbon cask maturation adds layers of vanilla, spice, and oak to the rum, complementing its natural sweetness and complexity.

Cadenhead’s bottled this rum at a cask strength of 51.4% alc/vol, non-chill filtered, and with no added colour, ensuring a full flavoured and authentic experience.
