Today's spotlight from my Advent calendar: A discovery from a small distillery in Fore, Co. Westmeath. Although this distillery is new and hasn't debuted its whiskey yet, they've astonished me with their golden rum crafted in-house. This honey-coloured spirit undergoes a serene maturation in ex-bourbon casks, culminating in a finishing touch with the distinctive qualities of locally sourced Irish Oak. The result? An exceptional Irish Rum, rich in both colour and flavour.
