PASSIFLORA RUM BARREL-AGED is a very special edition of Passiflora!
This sweet honey wine with passion fruit has been aged for more than 3 years. In 2019 we stored a batch of Passiflora in a recently emptied oak barrel that was being used by Ron Centenario.
In the aroma and flavor, the intense notes of wood, dark rum and honey are intertwined with the fruity and acid notes of passion fruit.

- 14.5% alc. / vol.

Ingredients: Water, Honey, Passion Fruit and Yeast.
MEADMAKER NOTES
"Our PASSIFLORA RUM BARREL-AGED mead came about by chance. We were participating in a festival and our booth was next to Ron Centenario's. For 3 days, we had fun trying each other's products, mixing and matching. One combination really stood out: our passion fruit mead with a splash pof aged rum. This gave us an idea: why not age our mead in a rum barrel? The master distiller of Ron Centenario tasted our mead and invited us to the distillery, where we acquired a barrel for aging.
This was our first time aging mead in barrels. It was fascinating to see how mead developed and evolved. We tried it every 4 to 6 months, and each time it was a different experience. The rum cask imparted subtle notes of vanilla and oak, beautifully complementing the tropical passion fruit.
We weren't sure how long to age the mead. There was pressure to bottle and sell sooner than later, but the longer we waited, the better it became. In the third year, we received a visit from the former brewmaster of New Belgium Brewing Company. We gave him a sample straight from the barrel. He called it "truly transcendental." That's when we knew it was ready.
This mead shows who we are at Costa Rica Meadery. We care about quality and are willing to take the time to do things right. We believe that the blend of our Passiflora mead and the flavors of the Centenario Rum barrels has created something truly special. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. " - Alejandra Araya
