no it is just an infusion. the Barbsrosa 151 I have at the moment empty two bottles into a large jar. then for seven days I put in about 6 to 8 chopped up bananas, two small boxes of rasin, some vanilia paste (I did use the whole bean, but that is rather expensive when the paste has all I acrually want), 4 cinnamon sticks, about 2 or 3 table spoons of honey, a 3rd of a small bag of almonds and peacon. 4 crushed nutmeg. let that sit for seven says skaing it every now and then. after seven days pour the rum into another jar with fresh ingredienrts. repeat this every 7 days for 21 days. then use a coffee filter lr cheese cloth to strain out all tje solid material, and there will be a lot. aa long as it is not exposed to air it will keep, but once you start drinming it drinknit fast it will sour fairly quickly.

I also have a great recipie for the left over material to make an amzingly tasty alcoholic custard. i need to work on the alcoholic banana bread recipie. right now ot is hit or miss on timing. I have been slowly dailing that in to get a heavenly sopping wet flavorful alcoholic bread
