The Bows 2018 HEOC 57% 500ml rum is a unique and impressive spirit from the Bows Distillery in Montauban. This remarkable rum, bottled at a robust 57% ABV, offers a harmonious blend of aromatic power and freshness. It is known for its rich and tangy aromas of red and black fruits, mango, banana, and overripe fruit, which are perfectly complemented by the earthiness of heavy fermentation molasses. The freshness is further expressed through licorice molasses, with vegetal accents of anise and caraway. As the rum is aerated, it reveals even more tropical fruit flavors, with nuances of heather and resinous aromatics. The balance between the aromatic power and freshness is present from the start, making for a smooth and enjoyable sipping experience. This rum is a great success for those who appreciate a flavored rum with impressive aromatic power and a very pleasant freshness. It is a unique and unprecedented addition to any rum collection.
Some reviewers believe that the price might be high compared to other rums in the same category, such as Forsyths WP, which they consider cheaper and better. However, this is subjective and may vary based on personal preference.
While some may find this rum enjoyable neat, others have noted that it might come off as being out of balance and therefore could be better suited as a mixer due to its strong personality.
The rum exhibits a complex flavor profile with prominent notes of solvents, butter, mint, bitter orange, tobacco, and cigar, along with a touch of intense floral notes.
Overall: The rum exhibits a complex flavor profile with notes of solvents, butter, and citrus, alongside hints of tobacco, cigar, and intense floral notes.
