3 Sisters Rum Co. 3 Year Old Aged Rum Review. 

    I received this spirit as a review sample from 3 Sisters Rum, linked here. It is important to clarify this did not impact the ratings of this review.


    American rum often flies under the radar, and seeing a small distillery take on the challenge with such confidence is refreshing. Three Sisters Rum is an American craft distillery based in Pennsylvania. Personally, I love seeing transparency and their authenticity stands out. Their process leans heavily into traditional Caribbean methods, utilizing a copper pot still to capture rich, flavorful profiles. The "mash bill" features organic sugar cane with a touch of molasses. On top of that their Rums are gluten-free, vegan, and even kosher.

    For the aged expression, the rum spends at least three years in white oak casks. While I've been diving down the rum path recently, I've quickly learned Caribbean copper pot stills make some of my favorite rums and I love the profile they deliver!

Age Statement: 3 years.

ABV: 40%.

Mash bill: Organic sugar cane with a touch of molasses.

Area of Distillation: Schwenksville, Pennsylvania.

Appearance: Steeped coffee.


On the nose:
    The aroma immediately rewards patience. That rich copper pot still influence shines through with a delicate touch of Caribbean funk, though more refined and elegant thanks to the aging process. Sweet oak sugars mingle with earthy undertones, while caramel drizzle and vanilla bean paste dance gracefully in the background. Hints of dark molasses and Demerara sugar come through as well, tied together by a whisper of chariness from the barrel. A lovely tropical spice note, think cinnamon and clove, weaves its way into the experience, giving the nose an inviting, festive quality.


Taste:
    First sip, and it’s everything you want from a craft rum. Sweet, earthy, and slightly charred, it clings beautifully to the palate with a soft oiliness, impressive for a 40% abv. Layers of cinnamon sugar, vanilla, and caramel coat the tongue, while a gentle spice kicks in, reminiscent of the warming notes found in a good Jamaican rum. The oak influence is soft and supportive, bringing structure without overwhelming the natural sweetness. That hint of molasses remains present, blending seamlessly with brown sugar and fresh sugar cane flavors. There's even an unexpected but charming sassafras note, similar to a homemade sassafras beer, adding nostalgia and uniqueness to the profile.


Finish:
    The finish is lingering and graceful, offering light black peppercorn spice and a faint echo of the festive sassafras and cinnamon flavors. It stays grounded in its earthy-sweet core, slowly fading but inviting another sip. For a rum aged just three years, the sense of maturity and balance is impressive.


Final Thoughts:
    Three Sisters Rum 3 Year Old Aged Rum is a revelation, a craft rum that hits every note you hope for. Sweet, earthy, refined, and nostalgic, it delivers a drinking experience that punches well above its price point. You’re getting a beautifully crafted rum that’s both a standout sipper and a fantastic base for cocktails like a rum Old Fashioned. American rum is often under appreciated, but bottles like this make a strong case for seeking it out. This is a bottle worth hunting down.


Rating: +A (Perfection).

Cost: $39.99 for 750ml.

Dovetail Distillery Cut Throat Oat Whiskey Review.

Dovetail Distillery Cut Throat Oat Whiskey Review.      I received this spirit as a review sample from Dovetail Distillery, linked here . It is important to clarify this did not impact the ratings of this review.           Dovetail Distillery, currently the smallest craft distillery based in Nevada. Currently the distillery is doing quite a bit with unique grains and one of those grains is Oats. Oats can be a fun grain your craft distilleries can play around with and add a unique profile to their spirits. Their Cutthroat Oat Whiskey is no exception, bringing three unique grains to the mix. After being double distilled it is aged for two years in custom char/toast American white oak 15-gallon barrels. This barrel size can be tricky, it does take a keen eye and palate to make sure this size of barrel doesn't take over.       Given my fascination with oat-based spirits, I was eager to dive into this bottle and see how Dovetai...

Old 55 Distillery Single Barrel Cask Strength Sweet Corn Bourbon Whiskey Review.

Old 55 Distillery Single Barrel Cask Strength Sweet Corn Bourbon Whiskey Review.           Old 55 Distillery is a small craft operation tucked away in Newtown, Indiana, just south of Lafayette, and they’ve built a name for themselves by doing something very few dare to try, making bourbon with 100% sweet corn. I’ve crossed paths with a few of their spirits before and have always respected the level of care they bring to the table: all distilling, aging, and bottling is done in-house, with a heavy emphasis on local grains. Their Bottled-in-Bond Sweet Corn Bourbon is the bottle most people around here know, but this release, a single barrel, cask strength version, was something I’d only ever seen at the Market District in Carmel, Indiana.       Sweet corn isn’t just a novelty for Old 55, it’s an expensive, labor-intensive choice. A bushel of the common yellow dent corn runs about $4 (2020 prices), but the sweet corn they use costs over $1,...

   Abduction Whiskey Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review.      I received this spirit as a review sample from Abduction Whiskey, linked here . It is important to clarify this did not impact the ratings of this review.     Abduction Whiskey is based out of Pacifica California. Where the bottling itself is only about six months old, but the amount of passion behind the brand stems much longer.  Ryan Murray, a chiller mechanic, he took a leap of faith to turn his love for whiskey into something tangible, a move that resonates with many dreamers in the whiskey world. With an alien-themed aesthetic that ties into the idea of “abducting” barrels to create something uniquely their own. The bourbon is sourced from MGP and blended in-house to develop a their profile. While many bottlings opt for a three-grain combination, going with four should bring an extra layer of complexity that can enhance both texture and flavor.  For the full video review visit th...
