Balcones Rumble is a unique spirit made in Texas. It is made using local wildflower honey, mission figs and turbinado sugar and these ingredients are fermented and distilled before maturation in small oak barrels. The result is a curiously rum-like libation with a marvellous flavour.
Thick notes of manuka honey and rose petal jelly. Sandalwood, leather armchairs and dried peel.
Creamy notes of vanilla and caramel. Mixed spices and apple peel. Cocoa butter and burnt sugar.
Apple peel and hints of honey. Clove oil.

I was sat watching Sunday Brunch, on UK Channel 4, when this drink came on to be tried by the 'panel'. Well, I'd never heard of it, so I googled it and found this page. Within 1 minute, the number of 'people looking at this' went from 42 to 137! How many people were sat watching 'Sunday Brunch' on UK Channel 4 ?
Too much fruitiness - may as well be drinking cough syrup...
The mission figs and local honey add unique flavors to this rum-like concoction. I think it goes best in a cocktail though as it has a bit of a kick to it. I prefer something just light enough to smooth it out but that doesn't mask the natural flavors of the Rumble, like the Daiquiri mentioned below.
Rum like nails it. Good in am old fashioned or a daiquiri.
