From the creative minds at Rum et al comes Variable Dunderclap 2.25, an unaged rum born in micro-batches that dare to bend the rules of fermentation. Crafted in extremely limited quantity—only 14.5 gallons—this expression replaces 33% of its water with dunder, the flavorful byproduct of distillation, bringing layers of complexity and depth to its profile. Fermented for up to 23 days from 100% baking-grade molasses using saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, then double pot distilled to a robust 75% spirit strength before being proofed down to 49% ABV, this rum is an experiment in precision and bold character.
Aromas of cinnamon, raisins, and custard rise first, joined by soft notes of orange blossom and browned butter that tease the senses without overwhelming. On the palate, it’s a silky, almost buttery experience with waves of dried figs, prunes, and golden raisins mingling with hints of honey, vanilla, and nutmeg. No heat—just layers of rich, syrupy fruit and spice that linger long after the sip fades.
Dunderclap celebrates the art of fermentation at its most inventive—recycling flavor, enhancing body, and introducing a whisper of wildness. Enjoy neat or with a single ice cube to savor every evolving note of this small-batch, experimental rum that blurs the line between science and craftsmanship.
