Project #173 Orange Rum
Orange has been added as a flavour to all kinds of things to make them taste even better, from chocolate to soda. Heck, for a period in the noughties, orange even made Wednesdays better. Project #173, however, made the sensible call that rum would be a good partner in lime. Wait, wrong fruit. It's the sweet, bright, and slightly sharp taste of natural orange flavouring that has been added to a base of high-quality rum here. All that citrus shines in its pretty bargain bottling, but will also make a cracking Daiquiri or Mai Tai.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Like homemade marmalade, the kind you'd proudly pop in a fancy jar and bring to a farmer's market. The orange is rich and dark, as well being beautifully supported by toffee, dark chocolate, and nutmeg.
Palate
Juicy orange is joined by a delicate sweet fruitiness of peaches and a little dried fruit, as well as five spice, molasses, and gingerbread.
Finish
Sweet and a little sticky with more molasses. Wrapped around an orange like a strange fairground treat.
Overall
This is a much more sophisticated, rich, and rewarding style of orange-flavoured spirit than you might be used to. Let it pleasantly surprise you.
