How does this rum taste?
Intense malty chocolate umami bomb
If you enjoy cask-strength profiles like Hampden or intense indie bottlings, this is a great pivot into Japanese rum—same impact, but with a malty, umami chocolate twist.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers seeking soft, sweet and easy-going sippers at a lower price point.
