Castle & Key Experimental Series Extra Old Haitian Rhum

Castle & Key Experimental Series Extra Old Haitian Rhum is a distinctive rye whiskey that explores the intersection of Kentucky whiskey tradition and Caribbean rum heritage. Beginning with Castle & Key’s Restoration Rye, the whiskey matured for four years before spending an additional 13 months in barrels that previously held extra old Haitian rhum agricole. The result is a unique cask-finished expression that layers tropical richness onto the bold spice and structure of rye whiskey.

This limited experimental release showcases how thoughtful barrel finishing can transform a whiskey without overshadowing its core identity. The vibrant character of fresh cane-derived rhum complements the rye’s natural spice, creating a complex and elegant pour that appeals to adventurous whiskey enthusiasts and collectors alike.
