Rum

With a perfumed nose full of musk and exoticism, this rum charms and entices with equal measure. Pink peppercorn, vanilla, waxed apple skin and rosehip crowd the nose, while the palate affords floral tea, beeswax and glacé cherries. Joyously, this isn’t too unctuous, with no excess sweetness beyond a supple fleshiness to balance the spice. It just cries out for a wedge of orange and lashings of ginger beer or cola, for a refreshing salve any night of the week.

Ron Zacapa Solera 23 contains a blend of rums from 6 to 23 years old. This is a wonderfully intricate rum with honeyed butterscotch, spiced oak and raisined fruit, showcasing the complexity of the sistema solera ageing process.
Its appearance is light mahogany, with the tones of long barrel ageing at the rim and long, slow legs clinging to the glass.
On the nose: A soft start which develops complexity in the glass; sweet aromas of caramel, vanilla, cacao and butterscotch, combining with layers of flavour indicative of the different barrels in the solera process; sherried notes of caramelised, roasted brazil nuts and toasted hazelnut, and the characteristic rounded toffeed banana and dried pineapple of ex-American whiskey casks.
On the palate, it is complex, generous and full-bodied, with a sweet honeyed viscosity atypical of an aged spirit; a great depth of raisined fruit and apricot preserves, building to an intense heart of savoury oak, nutmeg, leather and tobacco with notes of coffee and delicately sweet vanilla, balanced with a spicy touch of cinnamon and ginger on the pleasantly astringent finish; truly a rum for the discerning palate.
Serving suggestions: Serve Zacapa 23 in a rocks glass. Add ice, bitters and sugar syrup to taste, then stir. Garnish with an orange twist and pair with complementary dark chocolate

Venezuelan rum is rightly held in high esteem as a bright light, shining in the ever-emerging category of truly fine cane spirit. Treacle toffee, coffee grounds and sun-warmed beach ball aromas come to mind. There is a leafy aroma in the background too. The palate stimulates with tropical fruit; passionfruit and banana. Rounded, creamy and gentle in delivery, this is a rum to relax with.

Deep and enticing on the nose, with intense wood spice, this rum exhibits ripe fruit in abundance and a rare complexity. A stunning example from Panama, it demonstrates the ability of the country’s unique climate and terroir to produce world-class rum. The palate is equally complex and balanced, with amazing puissance and longevity but it is not at all overpowering. Exceptional.

The Caribbean boasts a long history of rum distilling, born of the sugar plantations that began to develop in the 17th century. Each country has its own unique style and, with maturity, the full, intense fruit, spice and, often, molasses flavours shine through. Jamaica is renowned for its distinctive full flavoured rum and this example from Monymusk is true to this, with tarry, smoky aromas lurking beneath generous ripe yellow fruit. The palate is layered with complexity and bursts with full-on fruit against a slightly medicinal backdrop.

The Caribbean boasts a long history of rum distilling, born of the sugar plantations that began to develop in the 17th century. Each country has its own unique style and, with maturity, the full, intense fruit, spice and, often, molasses flavours shine through. Brooding medicinal qualities set this rum apart, especially on the nose. The distillate was made with sugarcane grown on volcanic soils, then matured in charred white oak. The result is a uniquely flavoursome spirit which encompasses tropical fruit and complex spice, delivering a highly rewarding, distinguished and perfectly-matured rum.

From the unique realm of Guyanan Demerara rum, we have an equally unique expression which encapsulates the diverse abilities of this nation to produce something very different. The nose exudes a mix of tobacco leaf and sultana infused with liquorice and linseed. The palate has an oily, fruity and spicy balance and the flavours fight to disseminate but do so in wonderfully staged progression.
