Spice Hunter
Inspired by the story of 18th century botanist/spice smuggler Pierre Poivre, Spice Hunter is a fittingly cockle-warming spiced rum featuring notes of ginger, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and pepper. Built around a Mauritian rum, 13 spices are added in to the mix, resulting in a powerful flavour profile which we reckon will pair excellent with cola or ginger ale.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Fresh ginger initially, then long pepper, cardamon and heaps of aromatic cloves. More spice comes in the form of green peppercorns, allspice and a couple of drying dashes of nutmeg and pimento before cinnamon pastries, cola cubes and vanilla pods add a balanced sweetness. A hint of spent firework adds something interesting underneath.
Palate
More cinnamon, clove and an earthy twist of black pepper, then root beer, gingerbread and mulled fruit.
Finish
Short and delicately sweet, with earthy and dry spice lingering underneath.
