A crazy experiment! High Ester Barbados meets chili. Initially, you can clearly taste this fruity, strawberry high-ester rum, followed shortly afterwards by a distinct spiciness that lingers on the tongue for a long time.
Auto-translatedA little sample from Filip, thanks 😉 It's wild, peppery and quite fun. Please more experiments like this than some sweetened patois👏
Auto-translatedVery interesting piece. It's not a sipping rum, but I always like to have it as a curiosity of what someone has done. The idea of putting rum in a barrel after tabasco?🤣 It doesn't burn unpleasantly but it smokes😁 I really enjoy giving it to visitors or friends blind.
Auto-translatedFor me, this is probably one of the most disappointing finishes ever made for rum. I might as well drink Tabasco and then a random shot of rum. It tastes primarily of vinegar, chili and green pickled peppers. The rum is virtually non-existent and only adds alcohol in sensory terms...
