Strait of Gibraltar to mark the boundary between the known world and the new, unknown territories. With the Non Plus Ultra series, we push the boundaries of your expectations and take your senses on a journey into the unknown. Non Plus Ultra (NPU) are blends crafted from meticulously selected aged casks, bottled in beautiful, faceted carafes to create the ultimate experience. It is supreme class. Once you&#8217;ve tasted Non Plus Ultra, there is no turning back.<\/p><p><strong><br \/>Natural flavor enrichment from old casks<br \/><\/strong>The secret behind the unique taste of Non Plus Ultra lies in the carefully selected rum used for these blends. Each NPU is created from premium rum aged in old casks previously utilized for whiskey or fortified wines such as port, sherry and Madeira. For instance, the NPU Black Edition is made from rum aged in old and heavily burned Bourbon casks, while Ambre D&#8217;or is crafted from rum matured in casks that once held fortified wines as well as sweet and elegant dessert wines.<\/p><p>Casks previously used for fortified wines or bourbon are rich in residual flavours and aromas. As rum ages within these casks, it imbibes these characteristics, gaining layers of complexity, sweetness, and aromatic depth unachievable with new wood. The maturation process mellows the rum, enhancing its smoothness. The rum&#8217;s interaction with the cask softens the sharpness of the alcohol, yielding a more polished and velvety spirit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

all casks used for NPUs is that they are burned or charred to open the wood&#8217;s pores and increase contact with parts of the oak that have never been touched by alcohol.<\/p><p>The maturation of rum in charred casks is a time-honoured method to amplify flavour, colour, and smoothness. Charring caramelizes the sugars in the wood, unleashing a wealth of complex flavours and scents. This allows the rum to seep deeper into the oak, absorbing its rich bouquet. Moreover, the charred layer acts as a purifier, eliminating undesirable elements and ensuring a refined spirit.<\/p><p>The casks used for the Non Plus Ultra Series undergo a burn, with the Black Edition receiving an extended burn, which allows the blend to penetrate deeper into the virgin wood grain. This thorough process contributes to the distinctive taste and superior quality of the Non Plus Ultra blends, providing a very rich and creamy flavour profile with unique notes and fragrances.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0b25322 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0b25322\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f05f9dc\" data-id=\"f05f9dc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fadde80 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fadde80\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Produced in small batches <\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6ac477 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b6ac477\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:200}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Each batch is unique<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9603d7b elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9603d7b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:400}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The four variants in the Non Plus Ultra series &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/oldstcroix.com\/produkter\/premium_master_blends\/non-plus-ultra-very-rare\/\">Very Rare<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/oldstcroix.com\/produkter\/premium_master_blends\/non-plus-ultra-black-edition\/\">Black Edition<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/oldstcroix.com\/produkter\/premium_master_blends\/non-plus-ultra-ambre-dor-excellence\/\">Ambre D&#8217;Or<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/oldstcroix.com\/produkter\/premium_master_blends\/non-plus-ultra-la-galante\/\">La Galante<\/a> &#8211; are produced in small batches of maximum 2,000 numbered bottles.
