    Five Hundred Cuts Botanical Rum

    The distilling arm of BrewDog is staying very busy, and this is another tasty example of the fruits of its labour - Five Hundred Cuts Botanical Rum! The spirit is distilled from sugar cane molasses, fermented with red wine yeast and rum yeast for seven days, and then double pot distilled. Afterwards, botanicals join the party, with the likes of orange peel, lavender, schezuan peppercorns and cardamom being re-distilled in the spirit, while cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, tonka bean, ginger, and allspice, are steeped in the spirit for 14 hours. The two spirits are blended and finished off with a touch of muscovado sugar.

    The Five Hundred Cuts name is inspired by Elizabeth Blackwell, who, in the 18th century, created the most comprehensive herbal (a text of plant illustrations and descriptions) of plant engravings (or 'cuts') at the time. 500 of them, in fact. Not only was it sizeable, it was also one of the first herbals to show the plants drawn accurately!

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Coca-cola, dark chocolate, caramel combine with more aromatic notes like ginger, orange peel and cloves.

    Palate

    Highly aromatic, almost menthol, with assertive cardamom leading balanced by rich dark sugar.

    Finish

    Fresh and herbal, like upmarket cold cure.

    A perfect spiced rum

    My favorite spiced rum by far - full of complex notes, smooth and well priced - what's not to like? Perfect with fiery ginger beer and a slice of lime

    Rum or Wine?

    Not sure if it's a bad batch, but all I can taste and smell is the red wine. Not pleasant.

    Fantastic

    My favourite rum, taste is unmatched by other brands around similar price

    Sweet and cinnamon..christmas in a glass.

    Whoever left the review below obviously has no taste buds. This rum is full of flavour, heavy on the cinnamon and cloves lending it a ‘christmas’ effect. Unlike any other rum I have tried. Slightly sweet but not too much however not for supping on all night..just a couple. A very nice rum, for those who prefer a lighter or spiced rum.

    Shit

    It tastes horrible. Keep the botanicals to gin
