Austrian Empire Navy Reserva 1863 Porto Cask combines the historic heritage of Albert Michler with the rum making tradition of Barbados. This expression pays tribute to the year 1863, when the original Albert Michler Distillery was founded in Austrian Silesia. What makes this blend particularly special is its additional maturation in former port wine casks, contributing fruity depth and a pleasant sweetness.
The blend is based on carefully selected rum distillates from the renowned Foursquare Distillery in Barbados. These are initially matured for five to twelve years in American and French oak barrels. An additional three to four month finishing period in former port wine casks follows, creating a harmonious combination of classic oak flavours and the fruity characteristics of port wine.
The nose reveals intense aromas of molasses, honey and caramel, accompanied by vanilla, cocoa and roasted nuts. Delicate hints of dried fruit and port wine complete the bouquet. On the palate, the spirit is smooth and full bodied. Sweet caramel and creamy vanilla combine with dark fruits, chocolate and subtle oak spices. The influence of the port wine casks adds further fruitiness and creates a pleasantly rounded character.
The long, creamy finish features lingering notes of caramel, dried fruits and delicate oak. Bottled at 40% ABV, Austrian Empire Navy Reserva 1863 Porto Cask is particularly enjoyable neat at room temperature. It also pairs well with dark chocolate or roasted nuts, offering an interesting combination of complementary flavours.
