Tasting Notes

"In the glass, the rum presents as medium to dark copper in color, belying what’s to come. Nosing it quickly yields molasses and maple syrup – any longer and the ethanol fumes will overpower. The first (very small) sip is a roundhouse to your flavor sense, in the most pleasant way possible. While there’s the expected tons of burn from the high ABV, put that aside and luxuriate in the waves of molasses and maple that wash over your tongue. It’s a universe away from the clear Puerto Rican 151 you poured to spiked your college punches. Adding a few drops of water to tame it is a good idea, providing nearly the same intense flavors without scorching your tongue. Although most people will use it in Tiki drinks to provide serious fire power, be adventurous and try it in spirit-forward drinks to really let the bold flavors take center stage."
