American
spirits producer Pennsylvania Pure Distilleries has expanded its range with the
launch of Bly Silver Rum. Bly Silver Rum is distilled in small batches
using molasses sourced in Pennsylvania.
The distillery’s new white rum is produced in small batches using
molasses sourced from the Pennsylvania countryside.
Barry
Young, master distiller, said: “For Bly it was my goal to push the flavor
profile so it had a good amount of flavor, picked up the characteristics of the
molasses and was not over distilled, which can create a neutral spirit that has
no flavor at all. Rum is produced
using the distillery’s ‘unique’ mash method, which gently warms the molasses
rather than cooking it, to prevent a burnt tasting spirit. Each batch produced yields 600 bottles of
Bly Silver Rum, which has “notes of butterscotch and vanilla” with a clean
finish.
Bly
Silver Rum is now available through Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board stores,
as well as in other US states, including California, Delaware, Florida
and Illinois. The spirit will roll out
to further states, including Connecticut, New Jersey and New York, in May.
The Bly Silver Rum joins Pennsylvania Pure Distilleries’
core range, which also includes Boyd and Blair Potato Vodka.
