Brewdog Distilling Co Also Makes Rum

Brewdog Distilling Co, the renowned Scottish craft beer company, has recently announced its foray into the world of rum production. Known for its innovative and bold approach to brewing, the company is now bringing its expertise to the spirits industry. With its unique approach and use of rum barrels, Brewdog Distilling Co is set to shake up the rum industry. Here's everything you need to know about their new venture.

The Process

The rum production process at Brewdog Distilling Co is unlike any other. They begin by sourcing the finest molasses from the Caribbean, which are then fermented and distilled in their custom-built copper stills.

Launched in 2016, the Lone Wolf distillery is now known as Brewdog Distilling. This distillery stands out in Scotland with its unique equipment, combining two distillation methods: continuous distillation using a column and batch distillation using distillation columns and pot stills.

Their 19-meter tall distillation column, with 60 trays, is crucial for producing the neutral alcohol required in Europe for making gin and vodka. Brewdog Distilling thus positions itself as one of the few European distilleries that produce their own neutral alcohol for their spirits.

As for the pot stills, the distillery owns two unique Holstein models in Scotland: one with a capacity of 11,000 liters, adorned with a three-bulb reflux cap, and the other of 400 liters. These are the first of their kind installed in Scotland to date.

The rum is then aged in oak barrels, previously used for aging their popular beer, for at least 3 years. This unique process gives the rum a distinct aromatic profile, setting it apart from traditional rums.

The Barrels

Using rum barrels in the production process is what sets Brewdog Distilling Co's rum apart from others. These barrels, previously used for aging their beer, add depth of flavor and complexity to the rum. The oak barrels are charred inside, providing the rum with a smoky and caramelized flavor. This unique combination of flavors creates a truly one-of-a-kind rum.

The Brewdog Distilling Co. Range

Brewdog Distilling Co's rum is available in two distinct flavors:

Spiced Rum: This rum is infused with orange and lemon zest, vanilla, ginger, and kola leaves.

Duo Spiced Rum with Caramelized Pineapple: This rum is infused with tropical fruits such as roasted pineapple and papaya, ginger, and kola leaves.

A Second Range?

This is the very first range of rum from Brewdog Distilling Co., the 500 cuts range which is now discontinued and has become a collector's item for fans of beer and Scottish distillates.

Sustainability

Brewdog Distilling Co is committed to sustainability in its production process. They use 100% renewable energy to power their distillery and have implemented a zero-waste policy. The rum barrels used in the production process are also reused for beer production, thus reducing their carbon footprint. This commitment to sustainable development is yet another reason to support Brewdog Distilling Co's rum.

Availability

Brewdog Distilling Co's rum is currently available in certain markets in the UK and Europe, and there are plans to expand to other regions in the near future. The company also offers online ordering and delivery, making it accessible to rum enthusiasts worldwide. Keep an eye out for their unique rum in your local liquor store or order directly from their website.

Conclusion

Brewdog Distilling Co's venture into rum production is an exciting and innovative move for the company. With their unique approach and use of rum barrels, they are sure to make a splash in the rum industry. Keep an eye out for their distinctive flavors and support their commitment to sustainable development by trying their rum. Cheers to Brewdog Distilling Co and their new venture!
