Apple wine flavored and colored with molasses and aged in bourbon barrels for six months. The secret of Rumrunner lies in the barrel. Rich, full-bodied and intriguing Newfoundland Screech barrels were the inspiration for Rumrunner which opens up to reveal notes of molasses, apples and sugar cane. Raise a glass of Rumrunner and let your apples out of the barrel.

On tap at Sea Cider. Pours clear deep gold. Caramelized apples and a good hit of rum on the nose. Flavour has dry apple skins, gentle caramelization, and a surprisingly subtle amber rum character; the spiced character from the rum complements the apple very well. Rum is an aggressive barrel, but they pulled this off very well.

Refrigerated clear flip top bottle poured into a clear. Clear amber with small white head. Aroma is rich apples, medium body, medium/light carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is apples, rum, wood, and a little booze.

750 ml bottle from Coal Harbor Liquor Store. Nose is tart apples, rum,and musty oak. Clear dark gold with a small, quickly disapating off white head. Flavor is lightly sweet, lightly tart apples with a background of oaky rum. My favorite was the Bourbon Barrel Aged 2007, but this is extremely tasty.

Sweet barrel aged rum on the nose, good rum brown body and no foam. Flavour is sweet woody rum with cider infused. Balanced and intense, a great combination very well executed.

750ml bottle pours out copper color with a soap ring of a head. Nose is sweet apple big bourbon barrel notes. Taste is more of the nice sweet apple notes and a barrel booze kick.
