Description

Rolling Fork Spirits is an independent blender and bottler of premium rums sourced from distilleries around the world. Founded in 2016 by Kentucky native and whiskey writer Jordan Morris and Turner Wathen, whose family boasts over 200 years of American whiskey heritage, the brand was created to fill a gap in high-end rums on the U.S. market. Operating out of Starlight Distillery in Indiana and named for the historic Rolling Fork Distillery established in 1788, Rolling Fork marries the history and diversity of global rum with the traditions and standards of American whiskey.

Unlike many independent bottlers, Rolling Fork imports well-aged rum and continues maturation in uninsulated whiskey rickhouses on Indiana’s Knobstone Escarpment, where dramatic temperature and pressure changes intensify barrel interaction. Using nearly two dozen carefully selected cask types, the team finishes each rum to enhance its natural character before bottling at cask strength, without additives or chill filtration. Guided by the Wathen family motto, “No Finer Spirits,” Rolling Fork crafts expressive rums designed to appeal to both rum and whiskey lovers.

 

Taste

– Pot distilled from molasses by an undisclosed distillery in Jamaica

– WPL marque, ester levels between 60–119 gr/hL AA (grams per hectoliter of absolute alcohol)

– Aged in ex-bourbon barrels 14 years; 3 years tropical aging in Jamaica, 11 years continental aging in Liverpool, UK; further matured 6 months by Rolling Fork in Starlight, IN

Brand Tasting Notes: On the nose, butterscotch, warm banana bread, and cinnamon with a hint of limestone minerality; the palate is fruity and vivacious with papaya, charred pineapple, and plantain before delivering a big hit of clove on the finish along with mint and tobacco.

Holly’s Tasting Notes: Metallic lemon/lime cream. Lime creamsicle. Tropical insanity on the palate! Buttered croissants and more minerality. There is this river stone, river pebble quality to this for those wine folks out there. A really interesting and fun whisky. I paired this with some papaya and it was fantastic.
