Stroh 80 is an intense, fiery spiced rum from Austria, made with all kinds of spice extracts and essences. It is worth trying in warming hot chocolates, or in spicy cocktails such as the Jagertee.
Rich, punchy spices and caramel-like sweetness. Woody.
Sweet notes of Demerara sugar, potpourri and butterscotch. Very intense. Hints of molasses and treacle.
Long, musty finish. Nutmeg, cloves and sweetness.
Incredibly intense.
Nothing smooth about this, its not unbarable but i think the alcohol retracts from the flavour. Keep it in a cocktail.
Got a bottle of this s little while back. It is something I like to treat myself to occasionally. It is very viscous, sweet and spicy with a caramel like quality to it. Yes it is strong but it does not have the kick that you (or at least I) would expect, it is still very smooth.
drank this while on a ski-ing holiday in austria, had a few and couldnt remember anything about the rest of the night. just temember it being strong!
A good drink for a laugh. stay clear when smoking. Or near bbqs.
A friend of mine who loves his fine spirits always has a little hip flask with this in it. Its not for the feint hearted its powerful and first time you taste it you'll be blown away by the alcohol, but then all these lovely ice creamy, raisin, brown sugar notes come thru and you'll be glad you tried it.
