“Quick update: I normally don’t do this but this thing makes such an incredibly good rum sour that I’m attaching the recipe here: Rum Sour 6 cl this rum 2.25 cl lemon juice 2.25 cl dark sugar syrup 1/2 egg white 2-3 dashes angostura bitters Reverse shake and strain to preferred glass. Tried a daiquiri with it too and its profile is just not built for that. Seriously, try a rum sour with this one. Main review: Nose has cola, vanilla, and butterscotch. This rum greatly benefits from the glass sitting in the sun for a few minutes to release all the flavors. Palate actually delivers on the cola and vanilla while adding some cherry. There is something else very delicate in there almost like heather but it’s very subtle, just out of reach. This is a rum that grows on you greatly. My tastings improved tremendously after decanting the bottle into a carafe and making sure the glass was warmed in the sun for a bit. This is a true tasting rum and you have to really pay attention to get the most out of it. Very glad I did not just have a 3cl sample or I would have completely missed the experience on this one.”
