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.

750ml bottle. Pours a clear copper with a small, short lived, beige head that fully dissipates. Sweet aroma of ripe red apples, bourbon, cinnamon, molasses and oak. Sweet flavour of ripe red apples, caramel, cinnamon, molasses, honey, sugar cane and oak with a dry, warming bourbon finish. Medium to full body with a sticky texture and soft carbonation. Wow, lots of complexity. An excellent cider.

Light brown, sweet with a light caramelly note, a touch of acid late, with shots of alcohol in the finish. As always, good stuff.

Bottle thanks to kbudd19! Pours clear reddish hazel, small fizzy off-white head that dissipates quickly and leaves minimal lacing. Aroma is lots of red apple, bourbon, vanilla, dark fruits. Flavor is medium sweet, hint of apple tartness, a bit of mustiness, oaky vanilly, bourbon and apples. Quite nice actually. A bit of heat on the finish.

Bottle shared during the first Late Nite session of RBWG 2015. Pours Clear deep gold with a bubbly white head. The nose has some ripe and dusty old apples. Medium to big sweet flavor but still surly dry, with some spice, ripe apples, some bitter skins. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish, more dank and well ripened apples. Not bad.
