Sugarfield Spirits 3 Year Single Barrel #13

Review by: The Auditor

Review #1459; Rum #758

This is a rum from Sugarfield spirits located in Gonzales, Louisiana. This rum was fermented, distilled, barreled and aged all in Louisiana. The rum was aged for 3 years in a red port barrel at origin.

Distillery: Sugarfield Spirits

Bottler: Sugarfield Spirits

Region: Louisana, United States

Still: Pot

ABV: 55.6%

Nose: Red Berry, Dark Chocolate

Palate:  Medium mouthfeel, Dark Chocolate, Black Pepper, Raspberry, Vanilla, Oaky, Bitter, and Cinnamon

Finish: Medium length finish, Oaky, Black Pepper, Dark Chocolate, Raspberry, Vanilla, Bitter, and Cinnamon

On first pass, this was pretty all right. However, the more I drank it the more a bitter tannic taste in my mouth built. The unaged experimental stuff is more of a hit for me from Sugarfield. This cask at least, misses the mark for me.

Final Score: 72

Scoring Legend:

  • 95-100: As good as it gets. Jaw-dropping, eye-widening, unforgettable whisky.
  • 90-94: Sublime, a personal favorite in its category.
  • 85-89: Excellent, a standout dram.
  • 80-84: Quite good. Quality stuff.
  • 75-79: Decent whisky worth tasting.
  • 70-74: Meh. It’s definitely drinkable, but it can do better.
  • 60-69: Not so good. I might not turn down a glass if I needed a drink.
  • 50-59: Save it for mixing.

I have drank my fair amount of single malt but got started writing reviews about Single Malt and Bourbon in 2018. Over 1000 total reviews later and I focus mainly on Sugar Cane Spirits now. However, single malt is a still a spirits category I enjoy greatly as is Agave and Brandy. I wouldn’t go as far as to call myself an expert but I am the resident Rum obsessed writer for Malt Runners.
