Palate: Orange oil, mild clove, grapefruit juice.
Finish: Medium. The palate just subsides.
This rum comprises locally distilled un-aged cane juice spirit and sourced 5 year old Caribbean gold rum. The two components are blended together and infused with spices.
The profile is well constructed but as a sipping dram it just didn't impress me much. There wasn't anything particularly unpleasant or off-putting, on the contrary it was quite agreeable, but it came across as rather uninteresting - even generic. It might make a good mixer with tonic, however, or be useful in a cocktail. The other issue I had is with the price - for the amount they are asking (or less) you can buy other rums that are superior.
Brix is a Sydney-based rum distillery and bar founded in 2018. They apparently have rum currently aging and slated for release in 2021.
