FAIR Muscovado White RUM - 55% / 70cl

€45 Organic + Fairtrade Muscovado sugar is a whole, unrefined cane sugar produced on Mauritius through a complex, artisanal production process. It has a strong taste due to its high molasses content. The sugar is distilled by a micro-distiller in Charente to create a surprising spirit with an original flavour that provides an intriguing departure from traditional rum.
 
On the nose has quite an earthy aroma. Bell peppers, palm sugar and coriande, vanilla, biscuits and coconut water. Toffee, olive oil and a slight mineral note. 
 
On the palate it becomes more intense due to the ABV. Palm sugar, lemon zest, toffee,Cocoa biscuits, whipped cream, white pepper and green olives. Some coconut cream and floral honey. The finish is medium to long with cashews and biscuits.
 
This is a good unaged rum. It’s well rounded with a nice mouthfeel and the ABV gives it a pleasant intensity.
