BrewDog, a Scottish company renowned for its innovative craft beers, has broadened its horizons by delving into the world of spirits with its Five Hundred Cuts Botanical Rum. Crafted from molasses sourced from imported sugarcane, this rum undergoes a meticulous double distillation process in a pot still. What sets it apart is the infusion of an extraordinary blend of botanicals – among them pepper, lavender, cardamom, orange peel, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, tonka bean, mace, and allspice. The result is an intriguingly complex and captivating spirit, characterized by herbal and floral undertones, complemented by a hint of spice and a subtle sweetness reminiscent of caramel, cola, and dark chocolate. The array of botanicals imbues the rum with a distinctive character, making it somewhat akin to gin. The production process involves an innovative approach where the rum is divided into two parts. One portion is macerated with spices such as vanilla, ginger, and kola nuts, while the other is redistilled with orange and lemon peels and ripe figs. These two portions are then expertly blended and lightly sweetened with muscovado sugar. Named in honor of Elisabeth Blackwell, a pioneering herbalist who created an extensive treatise on botany featuring 500 illustrated plates, the Five Hundred Cuts Botanical Rum is a fitting tribute to her legacy. This vibrant and flavorful spirit is a treat for the senses and a must-try for any spirits enthusiast. BrewDog has truly outdone itself with this exceptional offering, marrying tradition with innovation in a bottle.
The unique blend of botanicals, dual maceration process, and tribute to Elisabeth Blackwell's botanical work make this rum stand out.
This rum can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a sophisticated addition to cocktails, thanks to its complex flavor profile.
The key botanicals include pepper, lavender, cardamom, orange peel, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, tonka bean, mace, and allspice.
As a reviewer, I find BrewDog Five Hundred Cuts Botanical Rum to be an exceptional spirit that masterfully blends tradition with modern innovation. Its complex botanical profile and thoughtful production process result in a remarkable rum that stands out in any collection. Whether enjoyed neat or in a cocktail, it's a celebration of flavor and craftsmanship.
