Riverboat Rum 40%
Double distilled from pure cane, dark brown sugar. Briefly aged in ex-Hickory Smoked Whiskey casks
Tasted: June 2013
Quite pungent, oily and slightly Guyana-esque in character. There are hints of toasted caramel and treacle along with some sugar coated dried fruits. Rounded and soft with a light smokiness.
The palate is soft and lightly oiled with hints of dried fruit and smoke. Quite full with a touch of light treacle. Pleasantly intensity if a little simple with the smoke lingering along with a light spirit note.
