Rum Reviews:   Treaty Oak Platinum Rum

You want history with your spirits?  The actual Treaty Oak is a fantastic Live Oak tree over 500 year old, in Austin, Texas. The story goes that Stephen F. Austin signed a treaty with local Native Americans beneath its spreading shade. The legendary oak has become a Texas symbol of patriotism, pride, and strength.

So, what's the tie-in?  A commitment to excellence.  Treaty Oak rum was created to compete not only with the best rums, but also with the best vodkas. This rum is truly an artisan spirit. 

They start with high-quality nonsulphured molasses and proprietary yeasts. These yeasts produce fewer esters, which creates a smoothness readily enjoyed.

The rum is distilled from column stills, then blended with filtered Hill Country water, and finally double filtered through activated carbon.

The resulting nose and flavor notes are crisp, citrusy, with subtle sweet spices.  I personally mixed some beautiful Treaty Oak and tonics.  A crowd favorite is Treaty Oak with a heavy dash of agave syrup and a half-lime or quarter orange; top with soda water, and you have a most refreshing cocktail.   Kudos to Treaty Oak for another USA premium spirit!
