PIRATE’S GROG RUM ABV: 37.5% Country: UNITED KINGDOM Style: Spiced
Price per bottle:
Peter
Nose: Rich and honeyed. Golden syrup, with gentle notes of cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, cardamom, and some nutmeg.
Palate: Sweet honeycomb and ginger notes.
Finish: Fresh ginger heat in a short finish.
Comments: This feels sweet, but the sweetness works as the flavours are also concentrated, making for a nicely balanced drink if sipped neat or perhaps over ice.
David
Nose: Rich, spiced notes of cinnamon, cloves, anise, and gingerbread; it is slightly spirituous.
Palate: A good texture: rich and thick with a delicately sweet creaminess before layers of baking spice. A touch of Christmas cookies and crème caramel.
Finish: The spice turns slightly hotter with notes of black pepper and cassia; gently oily and lingering too.
Comments: A spiced rum with a bold character that is typical of the style.
