Some Fuchs rum. Can't imagine the rum itself is of massive quality however not a bad price considering that any orders in January are signed.

 

Collectors item if nothing else.

I presume rum is the only one out of the three (gin and vodka) that ages or you could keep for 100 years and then open?

Rum does age, I think, but how well it would age would be questionable.

 

I'm not too clued up on that side of things, hopefully someone else would be.

 

I guess even If it was consumed as and when, the bottle would remain a collectors item with it being signed.

Only if it's stored in the right way.

Keep it tightly sealed and it'll be fine for months, if not years.

I’d end up drinking it just like I did my captain Morgan rum  still got the bottle though. 
 

I suppose you can always buy a normal rum in future and refill it again.

When he starts to market Grüner Veltliner I will order a couple of cases.

It appears to be made by distillers kitchen. They label stuff for a number of rugby clubs too.

When people talk about aging of spirits its really their storage time in oak cask after distillation. All spirits are clear straight after distillation. The aging, or maturing spirit, then picks up colour and flavour from the wood...the longer in cask the more so. There is also a loss of a rough character from the distillate for whiskies and other brown spirits like rum.

 

White spirits (gin, vodka) are not aged I ie stored in barrel) and therefore are clear.

 

Rum can be made both ways, thus white and brown versions, or 'matured' in steel vessels so no colour pick up.

Once filled into bottle there is little change in flavour as there will no interaction with the glass.

 

When you see an age statement on a bottle, eg matured 8 years, that refers to minimum time product was stored in the cask.

So how long does it remain drinkable in the bottle?

Theoretically a life time if not longer. Couple of caveats

 

can get problems with the cork, which can dry out, leak, go mouldy and give off notes

for things like gin, particularly in clear bottles, I would store in the dark as light can degrade some of the flavours
