Wagemut PX-Cask Barbados

The rum from Barbados was allowed to mature for 10 years in oak barrels (former bourbon barrels) on Barbados. Afterwards, we mature the rum in our barrel warehouse in Germany for another 3 months in former, freshly emptied PX sherry barrels.

PX stands for Pedro Ximenez – the sweetest of all sherry styles, which is made from raisins. Due to a special license, Kröger is one of the few companies worldwide that is allowed to import sherry in large containers from Spain. This enables them to fill the barrels with sherry before filling them with rum, thus regenerating them. Still completely damp from the sherry storage, the barrel is now filled with rum, and some PX sherry also remains in the barrel.
