From the heart of meticulous craft comes Rum et al Baseline 2.25 Still Strength Unaged Rum, a pure expression of what true rum should be. Distilled in extremely small batches from 100% baking-grade molasses and fermented for 17–22 days with distiller’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), this unaged rum stands as the foundation for all future creations—a benchmark of raw, honest spirit-making. Double pot distilled to 75% ABV, Baseline captures the soul of fermentation and distillation without a trace of additives.

The nose opens with the deep sweetness of buckwheat honey mingling with dried mango, pineapple, and a touch of coconut and orange zest. The palate is lush and creamy, revealing notes of dried figs, roasted cinnamon bark, raisins, cashews, and hints of bitter caramel that fade into a whisper of grapefruit. It’s complex yet natural, unfiltered yet refined—rum in its truest, most transparent form.

Enjoyed neat or with just a splash of water, Baseline 2.25 shows what happens when craftsmanship meets clarity. Every sip is a reminder that simplicity, when done right, can be extraordinary.
