Greensand Ridge Wealden Rum
Kentish rum? What fresh madness is this? Working from one of the country's smallest distilleries just up the road from MoM Towers, Will Edge is something of a spirits Womble - making good use of the things that he finds, the things that most everyday folk leave behind. In this case, by-products from sugar refining ie. molasses. After fermentation, the boozy liquid is distilled in a column still to create a very smooth fruity rum - no harsh edges here. It's aged for 6-10 months in ex-bourbon barrels to smooth it further, to give it some spice and to impart that beautiful golden colour.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Vanilla at first then floral with a distinct whiff of honey
Palate
Spicy, peppery, very very smooth, lovely round smooth texture
Finish
Notes of vanilla raisin on the (fairly short) finish
Overall
It's a very versatile rum, as happy being sipped neat with ice or used in a cocktail such as a Daiquiri.
