Tasting Notes

"Burnt sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and roasted coffee beans are at the heart of the aroma, though there is also a bit of an alcoholic burn. Before the spirit hits the throat, there are lovely sweet and roasty elements to the flavor base, but then everything is set on fire and it's tough to taste any nuances, or anything else, for that matter, after the rum sits on the palate and goes nuclear. Even for hot sauce aficionados, it's not recommended to sip neat, or even with a rock, though perhaps this would work in small measures as a cocktail modifier with other ingredients. Shame, because the base rum before it was entered into pepper barrels was probably quite good. "
