Description
Fancy a cuppa? It turns out the aromatic flavours of a good brew pair magnificently with the richness and complexity of quality rum, as you'll discover in this offering from Project #173! The idea came when the #173 gang challenged its customers to come up with a new flavour.
The winning idea was submitted by Alexandru Marius Sandu, a rum aficionado from none other than London's legendary Trailer Happiness bar. Combining a core of top-notch rum with generous helpings of the finest Earl Grey tea, the result is a richly aromatic sipper, brimming with citrus and bergamot alongside dark stewed fruits and spices. Perfect served in a Punch mixed with lime, sugar, and bitters, according to Sandu.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Very fragrant with those Earl Grey tea notes, with black tea leaves and oily citrus. It's also rich with stewed dark fruits, chocolate-coated raspberries, and clove.
Palate
Blackcurrant & Liquorice old-fashioned boiled sweets, orange peel, red cola cubes, ginger, and black tea.
Finish
More aromatic spice and bergamot notes.
Overall
Like dunking a tea bag in your rum. But in a good way.
