Sugar House Scottish Pure Single Rum

Review #1106; Rum #432

This rum hails to us from Scotland as one of the new wave of UK rum distilleries. This distillery is located in Dumbarton. There the rum is distilled from imported molasses and distilled on a hybrid pot still after fermenting for a week.

This rum kind of falls into the category of quite a few of the craft rums I’ve had in the U.S. I can get it is meant for your average cocktail and is trying to capture that crowd which I am sure it is well suited for. On it’s own neat, it is uninspiring. Some nice somewhat familiar flavors, but it just isn’t very exciting for me.
