Distilling Rum (Journey Into Rum Part 4) | The Shakespeare Distillery (3x2)

:

We're distilling rum today! It's Part 4 of our journey into rum series at the Shakespeare Distillery. In this video, we transfer our blackstrap molasses wash from the fermenter into the iStill 500 to distil into rum. As well, we do a small scale test distillation of the same molasses wash in our copper alembic stills over in the gin school. Will our rum be any good? Well, you'll have to watch the video to find out. Since the Shakespeare Distillery opened in 2015 we have been making gin here. However, we have recently started attempting to produce rum using blackstrap molasses. This new series documents our trials and errors as we try to produce our first batch of white rum using our iStill 500 and our new 2000L iStill fermenter. As of this video's publishing, the rum is still not on the market yet. So follow along as we bumble our way through making white rum.
