    How does this rum taste?

    Great Whites Overproof, produced by Mid West Ghana Distillery and bottled by Compagnie des Indes, is a striking unaged rum. Distilled in 2020 from sugar cane juice using a pot still, this limited release boasts only 1000 bottles. With a powerful 50% ABV, it presents notes of fruit schnapps, sour cherry, and marzipan when nosed. On the palate, cherry, mirabelle plum, and sugarcane dominate, creating a profile reminiscent of classic European fruit brandies. Praised for its fruity nature and complexity, it is also appreciated for its suitability in cocktails like daiquiris. Its unique flavor profile makes it a standout among white rums, particularly for those seeking an atypical tasting experience.

    Bu net, il apporte des arômes de mirabelle, de prune qui rappellent des eaux de vie de l’Est de la France. Délicieux sur un sorbet au citron. Shaké en Daiquiri, l’aération va révéler les arômes de pur jus de canne à sucre avec beaucoup de fraîcheur. Un excellent produit. Très impatient de voir le résultat des litres qui ont été mis en vieillissement dans les chais de la Compagnie des Indes.

    Extremely horny overproof Ghana. Benchmark for me even... Could pass for me blindly as a cherry or mirabelle plum brandy. Nice marzipan/maraschino note and extremely mild! And dangerously tasty in the daiquiri

    My first thought, is the rum or kirsch. For a white nevertheless really good. Positively surprised.

    "Great discovery! We're coming back to refine it, I love it! Fat, very fruity, atypical... top! To sum up, my tasting notes: On the nose: Mirabelle plum, Marzipan, Vegetal, Yellow fruit, Glue On the palate: Sugar cane, Mirabelle plum, Yellow fruit, Sweet, Round, Bitter cherry Finish: Yellow fruit, Marzipan, Glue, Cherry".
