15 Gallon Journeyman Rum Barrel - Fresh Dumped

Perfectly sized for smaller operations, these 15-gallon Journeyman barrels come straight from the distillery after aging rum, making them a unique option compared to traditional bourbon barrels. Journeyman is known for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship, and that carries through in the barrels themselves.

Because these barrels held rum rather than whiskey, the flavor profile leans sweeter and more approachable. Expect notes of molasses, light caramel, soft oak, and a touch of warm spice. The smaller 15-gallon format allows for faster extraction, making them ideal for brewers, distillers, cidermakers, or even maple syrup producers looking to add character in a shorter time frame.

If you're looking to step outside the typical bourbon profile and bring something different to your next batch, these rum barrels are a solid move.
