Dunbrody instead builds each individual expression around its own unique mash bill, matured entirely — start to finish — in the specific barrel type named on the label. Caribbean Rum Cask is built from a mash bill of 93% corn, 5% barley, and 2% rye, a genuinely high-corn recipe that lends itself naturally to picking up real rum-like character once it's matured in true Caribbean rum casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThat corn-forward base pays off directly in the glass, taking on genuine agricole-style spice alongside the natural sweetness rum casks are known for.
