Review and Tasting


Sampled on 06/07/2020

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Pungent, fruity estery aroma with rich molasses, pineapple, overripe banana, orange zest and desiccated coconut.

Taste:

Beyond the very assertive spirituous spice, pleasing flavours of caramel and nut garnished molasses emerge. The palate continues to grow and open with banana, pineapple and passion fruit.

Aftertaste:

The long fiery finish starts bitter and eventually fades through fruity notes.

Overall:

Although very potent, when used correctly Wrap & Nephew's complex bouquet and unique flavour characteristics make it an excellent base for cocktails and a must in punches. The little-changed yellow label with is black, green, and gold is a bar standout and cries for a rum punch to be made.
