The seven-day rum soak references the time Civil War–era seagoing forefathers took to sail back to New England from the Caribbean with casks of tobacco steeping in rum. The ship on the label is the \u003cem\u003eAdvance\u003c\/em\u003e — the South's most successful blockade runner during the war. It's also the base blend that Cornell \u0026amp; Diehl layers Latakia and Turkish into to produce Black Frigate; this is where that recipe starts, standing alone and uncomplicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlend Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlend Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Virginia · Navy Cavendish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponents:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-stoved Red Virginia · Hand-stoved Golden Virginia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavoring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Real rum (Virginias soaked for seven days, then lightly stoved again)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crumble Cake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody \/ Strength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mild to Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoom Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pleasant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States (Morganton, NC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 oz tin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rum arrives first — the tin pop opens with a warm, sweet rum aroma that announces exactly what's coming. On the burn, the rum settles into a soft undercurrent while the hand-stoved Virginias take over: natural sweetness, bread-like Red Virginia body, with Golden Virginia bringing lift and a cleaner citrus edge. The crumble cake format and the stoving process keep the burn slow and the ash clean. More Virginia-forward in the smoke than the tin aroma suggests; the rum lives in the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA benchmark Navy Cavendish and the base blend behind Black Frigate.
