Create your own delicious Spiced Rum using the innovative Swish Barrel Bootleg Kit. This unique kit allows you to infuse your spirits with a modern blend of cinnamon, tropical spices, and the essence of blended rum, evoking the flavors cherished by sailors who navigated the East India trading routes. Proudly made in the USA, this kit does not include alcohol—just the flavorful ingredients!

How Does It Work?

To begin the process, start by curing your barrel. Next, pour your choice of grain alcohol or neutral-flavored vodka into the barrel along with the included Swish Barrel Essence. After adding the ingredients, shake the barrel well to ensure everything is mixed thoroughly. Be patient, as in just two weeks, you will have created a bespoke spiced rum aged to perfection, ready to enjoy directly from the tap.

The kits come in various sizes to suit your needs: 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, and 20 liters. Here are the dimensions for each size:

• 1 Liter: 6.5" x 4.5" x 4.5"
• 2 Liter: 7.5" x 5" x 5"
• 3 Liter: 8.5" x 5.5" x 5.5"
• 5 Liter: 9.5" x 6.5" x 6.5"
• 10 Liter: 12" x 8" x 8"
• 20 Liter: 15" x 10.5" x 10.5"

Every kit comes with complete instructions to guide you through making your own spiced rum-flavored spirits at home using Swish Barrel Premium Essence. These essences are expertly formulated to replicate the flavors of top-tier spirit brands. When combined with neutral spirits like vodka, moonshine, or grain alcohol and aged in an oak barrel, your final product can taste remarkably similar to many beloved premium spirits.

Spiced rums derive their unique flavors from a blend of spices and sometimes caramel. The essential spices used include cinnamon, rosemary, aniseed/absinthe, pepper, cloves, and cardamom. As your spirit ages in the mini oak barrel, it absorbs depth and complexity from the oak, enhancing its flavor profile over time.

For those with a discerning palate, consider aging your spirits in a genuine Thousand Oaks Barrel! The smaller aging barrels accelerate the aging process, thanks to their higher surface area relative to the amount of alcohol, which introduces additional flavor notes typically found only in top-shelf products aged 10 to 20 years.

Introducing our newly designed eco-friendly packaging! Swish Barrel Essence now comes in soft, leak-proof packs that not only deliver the same great flavor but also extend the shelf life of the essence while minimizing the risk of leaks. This packaging maximizes the storage potential for any extra essence you may have.

Explore our diverse range of essence flavors available in our spirit-making Bootleg Kits, including Kentucky Bourbon, Small Batch Bourbon, American Rye Whiskey, Blended Whisky, Canadian Rye Whiskey, Pot Still Whisky, Absinthe, Port, Wine, Orange Brandy, Texas Corn Whiskey, Barley Whisky, and many more.
