Rump@blic's Origins collection explores a host of rum styles produced in different regions around the world. Here we have a blend of two molasses-based rums, 75% column distilled in Spain and 25% pot distilled in Venezuela, offering up a delicately sweet, floral profile.
Butterscotch and gentle notes of burnt brown sugar, grilled pineapple, fragrant spices, plantain, toffee, a touch of mellow oak.
Silky soft with caramel and muscovado, vanilla, toasted coconut, coffee, buttery notes toasted oak, toffee popcorn, tangerine peel.
A floral touch of hibiscus arrives for the finish, backed by vanilla pods and fudge, wrapped up with elegant sweet fruit and subtle aloe vera.
The glass is very similar to the Glencairn 'Copita', so worth perhaps £5/£6, therefore whilst the free glass offer applies, this is a good deal. The rum is smooth, but as you'd expect from a rum costing around £30, it's far from complex and doesn't have a great deal of body. But it's pleasant enough, for the price. However, take away the glass and I'd score it 3-Stars. I'm sure someone will find a cocktail this works in, but it's not a sipping rum.
