Rougaroux Full Moon Dark Rum
Dark Rum
Rougaroux // Louisiana, USA
RARE
Rougaroux is a nocturnal, wolf-like creature of old Louisiana Cajun folklore, known for lurking the sugarcane fields, only to appear in a full moon to "do justice to the wicked." This dark-style rum is named for his chosen cover of night, using blackstrap molasses and raw cane sugar grown in the Donner-Peltier family's fields in Thibodaux, Louisiana.
It's aged in white oak with no added colors or artificial ingredients. Update: Donner-Peltier Distillers, the Thibodaux-based distillery, announced that it will cease operations after Monday, August 27, 2018.

Tasting Notes
"For those who like a dark, sweet rum this is for you! Though it's very much on the sugary side, the flavors taste fresh and clean. There's a pleasant hit of dark coffee, toffee, a whiff of smoke and citrus peel to tame all that sweetness. However, the point of this style was to make a big, bold "monster" of a dark rum, and in that they certainly succeeded. A pretty good neat sipper, would be a fantastic base for dark, stirred cocktails with some bitters added."
