Bayou White Rum

Rates high against other unaged white rums, forward sweetness without harshness, long palate. As an unaged pot-still rum, can be used in some of Martin Cate's punches without resorting to overproof Wray and Nephew. Another good American in the pot-still in this age statement is Prichard's, available at Total Wine in Maryland. I purchased Bayou at a Virginia ABC store in the DC metro area. Both are excellent for the category.

Not your usual white rum, could sip on ice or mix with cola

I like this rum a lot. Very molassas-forward which I like. Makes fantastic daiquiris.

This is really a great all-around rum and bar stocker to keep on hand. I don’t get much fruity notes from this, instead I get a touch of sweetness and a wallop of plain yogurt or puff pastry cream with a little minerality and herbal tea. Really a pleasant rum in any cocktail and can almost be a sipper if it had a little bit more robust flavor but that’s expecting a lot from a silver rum. Pretty smooth too.
