Review #883; Rum #259: SBS Single Origin Series French Antilles Grand Arome

SBS Single Origin French Antilles Grand Arome

This rum comes to us from those Independent bottlers at 1423 under their SBS line. This unaged rum comes to us from the French Antilles, was molasses distilled on a column still, and bottled with no ageing or additives. Though very little details are given on the provenance on this bottling I would guess it to be Le Galion similar to the aficionados release.

ABV: 57%

Nose: Very savory, Beef Bouillion, Cumin, Black Pepper, Coriander, Lemon Zest.

Palate: Thick oily mouthfeel, Beef Bouillon, Cumin, Black Pepper, Coriander, Lemon Zest, Grilled Pineapple, Orange Peel.

Finish: Long finish, Beef Bouillion, Cumin, Black Pepper, Lemon Zest, Coriander, Grilled Pineapple.

Rating: 7/10

Great and tasty. Bright and fruity to help balance out the super crazy heavy savory spices on there.
