BARREL DROP

Barrel Drop Rum is the first barrel-matured rum to launch out of the DropWorks Distillery and one that will remain for years to come. And you want to hear how it’s made, huh? Well, you know we love to talk, so we would be delighted to tell you more.

HOW WE DO IT

Worth the wait! Since launching the DropWorks brand over a year ago, the team have had the opportunity to innovate and craft the tastiest of Drops through their own creative methods. “One of the first deliveries, once the Distillery was built of course, was a whole variety of barrels that we’d chosen” explains DropWorks Founder, Lewis Hayes.

“All of the casks used to produce Barrel Drop were selected and paired with our liquid, including a small portion crafted from fresh, Virgin American Oak, which gives the product its sweet vanilla notes.”

The liquids chosen to go into these barrels are all fermented using the wild trinity yeast that is a world-first and exclusive to all DropWorks Rums. The spirits are distilled through either/or column, double pot and double retort distillation methods using extremely narrow cuts before maturation.

The selection of barrels were heavily focused on the end result of the tastes that were desired, where the liquid spent up to 16 months inside before it tasted so good, it simply had to be shared with the world, winning Gold at The Spirits Business Global Rum and Cachaça Awards 2025!
