{"product_id":"helios-distillery-teeda-21-year-rum-700ml","title":"Helios Distillery - Teeda 21 Year Rum 700ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eDistilled in 1998 from Okinawan sugarcane molasses, Helios Distillery's Teeda 21 Year Old represents a rare historical benchmark for Japanese spirits. Okinawa's subtropical climate, rich mineral-dense soil, and average temperatures of 22.5°C accelerate interaction between the spirit and wood, making a 21-year aging cycle exceptionally intense. Crafted in a traditional copper pot still and aged in new American oak barrels, this single-vintage expression demonstrates how prolonged tropical maturation alters molasses-based rum without losing its core agricultural identity. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \r\n\r\nIn-house testing at USQ showed a rich, structural palate that balances the heavy extraction of ex-bourbon oak with clean spice. The spirit enters with dense layers of vanilla, salted butter, and dried apricot before opening into dark chocolate, pipe tobacco, and subtle cumin. At 48% ABV, the palate weight remains broad and viscous, carrying a faint savoriness through a finish marked by cinnamon and dried leather. Enjoy this rare expression neat in a heavy tumbler, or evaluate its structural depth in an ultra-premium Old Fashioned by stirring 2 oz Teeda 21 Year, 1 barspoon of Demerara syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters over a hand-carved ice cube. \u003c\/p\u003e \r\n","brand":"Helios Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52471774347628,"sku":"679212","price":599.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0469\/6411\/3569\/files\/teeda21yearbottle1080.jpg?v=1786150139","url":"https:\/\/unionsquarewines.shop\/products\/helios-distillery-teeda-21-year-rum-700ml","provider":"Union Square Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
