The Rum & Cane British West Indies XO is a distinctive blend crafted by the renowned independent bottler Crucial Drinks. Distilled from rich molasses and aged for a minimum of six years in the British West Indies, this exceptional rum boasts an ABV of 43%. It offers a captivating aroma profile with notes of sour fruits, citrus, spices, and floral nuances, highlighted by a predominant scent of dried and greedy banana. The flavor profile is a harmonious blend of spice, cocoa, oak, and a touch of alcohol, resulting in a creamy, buttery texture that evokes the sensation of indulgent cake batter.
On the palate, the rum evolves into a more sophisticated experience, featuring authentic tastes of molasses brandy, cane sugar, and sugar cane juice. The woodiness introduces peppery and spicy elements with hints of camphor and resin, culminating in a soft, greedy finish. The blend owes much to the Pot-Still techniques of the Foursquare distillery, making it a robust choice for those eager to explore the diverse flavors of the British West Indies.
