An interesting release from Tanduay in the Philippines, named Double Rum because it combines two different expressions, one five year old and one 16 year old rum, which are married in a first-fill bourbon cask for two years. Immensely fruity, with sweet vanilla and lightly toasted nuts, it's a superb sipper neat, and ought to stand up nicely in some classic rum cocktails too.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Silky vanilla opens the way for plenty of tropical fruit sweetness. Charred pineapple, a touch of peach, and some candied stone fruits balance roasted nuts, toasted oak, and a pang of cardamom and clove.
