Batch 89 Reserve Gold Rum Combo Pack

The Ultimate Aging Setup for oak aged rum.

Whats in the Kit

  • New Batch 89 Reserve Gold Rum
  • Gallon Soakers Jar 3.8lt

Still Spirits has released the latest in its Batch 89 Limited Edition series, the follow-up to the Batch 89 Bourbon. This Reserve Gold Rum kit flavours 3.5 L of neutral spirit or vodka, aged your way with real French and American oak.

Expect sticky brown sugar and soft honey up front, with toasted oak carrying through the finish. It's a proper Caribbean-style golden rum, and the oak chips let you push the aged character as far as you like.

The kit includes everything for flavouring, oaking and bottling, right down to five Batch 89 labels for the finished product.

Add the essence to your neutral spirit or vodka, oak to taste over several weeks, then bottle.

The Method: How It Works

Creating your reserve bourbon is a simple but rewarding process:

  1. Prepare your Base: Start with 3.5 L (approx. 3.7 US QT) of neutral filtered spirit.
  2. Infuse & Age: Combine the spirit and the Bourbon Barrel Oak Chips in your Gallon Glass Jar.
  3. Seal & Steep: Use the secure screw-top lid to create an airtight seal. The wide-mouth jar allows for maximum contact between the spirit and the authentic barrel oak.
  4. Flavor & Smooth: Following the included instructions, add the Gold Rum essences and Glycerine to reach that "exceptional taste".
  5. Bottle & Label: Once aged to perfection, transfer to your bottles and apply the Batch 89 labels for a professional presentation.

Note: This is a limited-edition release.
