    How to Use Rum Essence<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Making your own barrel-aged rum<\/strong> is incredibly simple. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Start with Neutral Alcohol<\/strong> \u2013 Use vodka, grain alcohol, or moonshine at 35\u201340% ABV.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      Add the Essence<\/strong> \u2013 Mix in 1 bottle of rum essence per liter of alcohol<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    3. \n

      Age in an Oak Barrel<\/strong> \u2013 Pour the blend into your cured Red Head Oak Aging Barrel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    4. \n

      Wait and Taste<\/strong> \u2013 Let your spirit age for 2 to 6 weeks, depending on how bold and smooth you want the flavor.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    5. \n

      Enjoy<\/strong> \u2013 Tap and pour your finished rum straight from the barrel. Sip, mix, or bottle as desired.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Each bottle of essence flavors 1 liter<\/strong> of alcohol. The more you age it, the more character your rum develops.<\/p>\n
