This American rum is made in Massachusetts with molasses from Guatemala. It’s distilled in column stills and aged more than 2 years in alligator charred virgin American barriques.
Its intense nose is reminiscent of a bourbon whiskey with oak, dust, leather, then hot spices, paprika, and lastly a sweet scent of cinnamon cookies. Warm and dry sip, mineral, quite spicy, ginger, balsamic honey, then oak with vanilla, tobacco, and cookies. The finish is sweet and toasted at the same time, pancakes, maple syrup, cinnamon.
90Among the rums tested in blind tastings and reviews throughout the year, those scoring the best get reselected. These products were then tried once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The only indication on the sample concerns the ABV content: a red mark states that the product has an ABV higher than 50% (100° proof). The test results are then compared, and the TOP 10 is made.
This list will be published in detail in Winter 2021 issue of CigarsLover Magazine.
