Copalli Barrel Rested Rum 70cl
Description
Copalli Barrel Rested Rum
Copalli Rum is made in the rainforest in southern Belize. With three core businesses - the Copal Tree Farm, where they grow and harvest the sugar cane, the Copal Tree Distillery that makes the Copalli craft rum, and their eco-tourist Copal Tree Lodge, their mission is both social and environmental.
By providing rewarding jobs for the local people to support their families, they will not rely on the logging industry, that is destroying the rainforest and the ecosystem. This will help to preserve the much needed rainforest, and with the lodge, they can positively promote the region. Good to know that to set up these facilities, no part of the rainforest was cut or destroyed.
Copalli Craft Rum is made using only three ingredients - freshly pressed juice from the organically and sustainably grown sugar cane, rainwater from the semi-tropical climate, and yeast (which is needed to start the fermentation process).
To craft Copalli Barrel Rested Rum, sugar cane juice is distilled in their column and pot stills and then rested in used American Oak bourbon barrels which mature in the rainforest climate. The result is a rich and sweet delicious rum and contains no additives or colours.
When you taste Copalli Rum, the spirit of the rainforest shines through.

Perfect Serve
Copalli Barrel Rested Rum is delicious when sipped on the rocks, and perfect for cocktails.
If you like a sour cocktail, how about a Daisy De Punta Gorda. Add 60ml Copalli Barrel Rested Rum, 30ml fresh lime juice, 10ml agave syrup and 10ml yellow chartreuse into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake, shake, shake and strain into a glass which has been rinsed with absinthe. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a wedge of lime.
