How it's made
As published, Hoochery 5 Rivers Tropical Spiced Rum is on pot still, matured in oak. These are the producer-disclosed production details; steps that are not published are not shown.
Understanding these terms
General explanations of the terms above — these describe the concepts, not this specific bottle.
What does still type mean?
Rum is distilled in pot stills, column stills, or a blend of both. Pot stills tend toward heavier, more congeneric spirit and column stills toward lighter; it is a factual production detail, not a quality ranking.
What does cask information tell you?
The cask a rum is aged in (for example ex-bourbon or ex-sherry oak) shapes colour and flavour. WhatDrink reports the published cask information; it is a production fact, not a measure of quality.
What do maturation notes mean?
Maturation information describes how a rum is aged. A solera or blended-age statement (e.g. rums aged across a range of years) is NOT a single age statement — the oldest component age is not the age of the bottle.
What does dosage / additive status mean?
Some rums disclose added sugar or other permitted additives (dosage). WhatDrink reports the exact published dosage/additive status. The absence of a disclosure is NOT evidence that a rum is additive-free or sugar-free.
