All LYON rums are double distilled, by hand, in classic pot stills from 100% Louisiana Cane - a unique, hybrid fermentation of raw sugar and blackstrap molasses. The Sailors Reserve starts as our classic white rum, finished "reposada style" in American Oak (former bourbon barrels) for up to 12 months, preserving it's youthful character while layering hints of vanilla and oak, for a delicate, dry finish.
