Deadhead 10 Year Old 10th Anniversary is a limited-edition aged rum from Mexico, released to mark ten years of the brand and bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) in a striking head-shaped bottle.
Deadhead Rum was created in 2011 to bring deserved attention and honour to the storied history of rum production in Mexico. For its tenth anniversary, the brand released this ten-year-old rum, an elegant spirit with a whiskey-like nose.
The nose brings stone fruit and maple syrup. Brown sugar melts on the tongue, followed by cigar leaf and sassafras, with toasted pecan and oatmeal adding texture and complexity, and oak and leather carry a deep finish.
A collectible anniversary bottle, it makes a memorable gift.
Sip it neat or over a single large ice cube.
Aged rum is one of the most diverse spirits in the world, shaped by the sugarcane, the still and the warm climates where it matures, which speed up the interaction between spirit and wood.
Rum is distilled from sugar cane products, molasses or fresh cane juice, and ageing in oak gives it colour and notes of vanilla, caramel and spice.
Mexico has a long history of sugar cane cultivation and rum making, especially in the Gulf states, though its rums are less well known abroad than its tequila and mezcal.
In a warm climate rum matures quickly, so ten years in oak brings deep, whiskey-like richness.
The bottle's sculpted head design makes it a striking piece on any back bar.
At 80 proof, it stays smooth and approachable for sipping.
