We often get asked: can you age spiced rum?
Let’s clear up a few myths.

The Truth About Ageing Spiced Rum

Unlike whisky, spiced rum is rarely aged in the bottle.
The “age” refers to the base rum used — which may be aged in oak barrels before spices are added.

Once bottled, spiced rum doesn’t continue to improve with age — in fact, after 2–3 years, the spices can fade if not stored correctly.

How to Keep Your Rum at Its Best

• Store upright

• Cool, dark place

• Tightly sealed

The Bottom Line

Enjoy your Slydog Spiced Rum fresh — that’s when it’s bursting with character.
