Made using single-batch distillation, this Bayou expression is a celebration of the rum\u2019s Louisiana roots and a tribute to the state\u2019s favourite holiday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bayou Rum introduces XO Mardi Gras in honour of the brand\u2019s Louisiana heritage and the state\u2019s most celebrated holiday. Bayou Rum XO Mardi Gras is a premium rum produced through single-batch distillation in copper pot stills and aged in bourbon and sherry casks for six years using the solera aging method. Artfully crafted by Master Blender Reiniel Vicente, the result is an elegant and complex mahogany rum with rounded flavors of orange marmalade, stone fruit and a subtle taste of tupelo honey, leading to a long finish with hints of black pepper, smoke and the sherry casks themselves.<\/p>\n

This festive spirit of Louisiana is packed in a beautiful glass decanter and sealed with a natural cork and wooden closure that features individual, one-of-a-kind kaleidoscope tiles, adding a bit of Mardi Gras flair to the classic bottle. All Bayou Rums are made using sugarcane from a single estate in southern Louisiana and are distilled, blended, aged and bottled by hand at the award-winning Louisiana Spirits distillery in Lacassine, Louisiana.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started making Bayou Rum about seven years ago, so these are truly our oldest, heaviest and finest rum stocks to date,\u201d said Vicente. \u201cWhile we have wanted to pay homage to Mardi Gras since we opened our doors, we had to be patient and pay special attention to ensure this expression was deserving of bearing the name of Louisiana\u2019s most popular holiday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Master Distiller, Jeff Murphy, added, \u201cThis release is proudly reminiscent of days long past and is inspired by the pageantry and tradition that is about to begin in the Sugarcane State for the 320th year.\u201d<\/p>\n

At 80 proof and 40 percent alcohol by volume, Bayou XO Mardi Gras comes with a suggested retail price of $79.99. Learn more at www.bayourum.com<\/a> or by following @BayouRum on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.<\/p>\n
