Muki 6 Year Old "Raising Glasses" Cask Strength Single Barrel Ecuador Rum (375ml)

Ecuador remains an uncommon origin on American rum shelves, making Raising Glasses' Muki a welcome opportunity to explore a less familiar source through a transparently presented single cask. Distilled from molasses in a column still, the rum spent its first two years aging in Ecuador before undergoing another four years of maturation in Europe. That split provides a clearly documented six-year age statement while bringing together maturation in two different environments. Bottled at a substantial 68.9% ABV, or 137.8 proof, Muki contains no added sugar or other additives. Its appeal lies in the combination of an unusual provenance, a disclosed aging history, and a powerful bottling strength that gives enthusiasts considerable scope to explore it with water. A fascinating addition to a rum collection and a reminder that the category's geographic diversity extends well beyond its most familiar Caribbean origins.
