Nashville-based Trovador Inspirado Rum has expanded its portfolio with the launch of Trovador Inspirado Double Barrel Aged Rum, a premium release that bridges global rum traditions with Southern craftsmanship.
Blended and bottled in Nashville by production duo Colton Weinstein and Devon Trevathan, this new expression fuses the character of three rum-making regions: the refined smoothness of three-year-aged Cuban-style rum, the oak-rich depth of Spanish Caribbean rum, and the botanical edge of pot-distilled Mexican rum.
Trovador Inspirado Double Barrel Aged Rum finishes its journey in new American white oak barrels — a detail that gives it added layers of vanilla, spice, and warmth. The result is a rum that balances sipping elegance with mixology versatility, making it equally enjoyable neat, on the rocks, or in classic cocktails.
Devon Trevathan, Executive Director of Sales, Executive Blender, and Founding Partner, explained the creative inspiration behind the release in a statement to Fred Minnick:
“With this one, we were aiming to stitch together traditions in distilling and barrel aging. We wanted the elegance of Cuban-style rum to shine through even after introducing new American oak to the mix. These barrels dominate in American whiskey but are rarely used in the Caribbean. I’m happy to say our approach was more successful than we could have imagined. It really is the best of both the rum and whiskey worlds, all in one dram.”
Founder and CEO Chad Newton described Trovador Inspirado Double Barrel Aged Rum as the next evolution of the brand’s thoughtful approach to blending.
“We crafted this rum with the same care and blending philosophy as our signature silver rum — then aged it to deepen its character. It’s perfect for sipping neat or elevating richer, more complex cocktails,” Newton said. “We’re thrilled to share it with Nashville and beyond, and we hope it earns a place in your regular rotation.”
Priced at $49.99 per bottle, the new release is available for online pre-order with nationwide shipping across 46 states. Limited availability will also roll out through select retailers, bars, and restaurants — with full details listed on the brand’s official website.
Trovador Inspirado continues to position itself as more than just a rum brand — it’s a cross-cultural experience in a bottle. Each blend celebrates the diversity of rum-making traditions by merging Cuban elegance, Spanish Caribbean richness, and Mexican complexity into one harmonious spirit.
The brand’s founding team reflects that same fusion of artistry and expertise. Co-founded by Raul Malo, the GRAMMY-winning frontman of The Mavericks, Trovador Inspirado brings together Chad Newton, a celebrated restaurateur; Devon Trevathan, an accomplished blender; Colton Weinstein, the brand’s master distiller; and Beau Gaultier, expert mixologist.
Together, they continue to expand Trovador’s presence as one of Nashville’s most innovative spirits producers.
Fans can now secure their bottles of Trovador Inspirado Double Barrel Aged Rum via the brand’s online shop at trovadorrum.com. The expression officially joins the Trovador lineup, offering a new benchmark for rum drinkers seeking craftsmanship, complexity, and cultural depth in every pour.
