There is no universal definition for small batch bottlings, but for Grander it means that blends are made from no more than 15 barrels. The founder of Grander Rum, Dan DeHart, is from Kentucky and grew up with bourbon whiskey. Rum for him was strictly for mixing. This 8-year-old Small Batch Rum represents Dan DeHart's discovery and love of rum; rum can and should be enjoyed like whiskey: neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail. Aged for at least eight years in former American white oak bourbon barrels - bottled without additives.
