From the Portsmouth Distillery comes this glorious rum, matured for three years in ex-bourbon casks, just a pebbles throw from the sea! Distilled and matured from scratch in Portsmouth, it's impressive stuff for sipping, and ought to make a fab pairing to ginger ale and the like.
Foam banana sweets, dried fruit, creamy strawberry, pink grapefruit peel, and apple chutney bring all the fruitiness to the fore, with vanilla, coconut, and nutmeg in support.
Still fruity (green banana) and vibrant, with touches of cask influence in the shape of cacao powder, honey, some nuttiness, and more vanilla.
Long and delicately sweet.
I'm not normally a rum drinker but this rum is sooo smooth. Paired with ginger ale it is quite the drink. Tried it on a distillery tour whilst buying gin and couldn't resist buying a bottle.
This is a wonderful Rum, would highly recommend it.
