I usually reserve a pour on a Friday or Saturday eve... but I feel as if one is needed while watching these Democratic debates. As brilliant as these guys on stage are, they seem too nice to fight with our current leader. It’s like fighting a pig in the mud, except the pig loves it.
So this pour, purchased as a sample in an order from TWE, is a true whiskey drinker’s rum. I don’t generally like rum, most seem like sucking on a sugar cube, while waiting for that onset of cavities and type 2 diabetes. But this here is different. Really very little sweetness. Instead, you get grassy herbal taste, almost a gritty engine oil back end flavor. Long finish of hazelnuts and cocoa. Closest I can compare to is a rum finished Springbank. If you’re a fan of Springbank, you’d love this
The only downside: I don’t think my 3 cl pour will make it through the entire debate.

@Soba45 don’t miss the Caroni if it’s offered. I’ve had 2 Caronis so far, and both were amazing—-if I can generalize based on those 2, the others must be as good
A nice review. These guys are coming to Dramfest in March next year so I'll look out for them based on your review:-)
A respectable debate last night after the 2 previous disasters.
