Review and Tasting

Sampled on 17/08/2015

Appearance

Clear, golden amber.

Aroma

Fruity estery rum spirit, candied ginger, ripe peach, overripe banana, vanilla, oak and orange zest.

Taste

Citrusy and spicy with vanilla, brawny cinnamon and honeyed sweetness. Underlying overripe banana estery fruity notes and dry oak tannins add complexity and structure.

Aftertaste

Honey, vanilla and citrus with lingering bitter tannins and punchy cinnamon spice.

Overall

An English distilled spiced rum is something to applaud, especially when so simply but beautifully presented and boasting a premium alcohol strength. As for the flavour, some will appreciate the combination of fruity esters and spice while others, including the mass market of spiced rum drinkers may find challenging.
