That Boutique-y Rum Company's 2015 Issan Batch #1 is an extraordinary unaged rum with a distinct origin and flavor profile. Crafted in the northeastern region of Thailand, this unique spirit is distilled from red sugarcane grown locally. The juice used for fermentation is derived from a single harvest, ensuring a pure and refined base. Distillation occurs in a 400-liter pot still at the esteemed Issan distillery. Following distillation, the rum undergoes a process called 'affinage', resting in stainless steel tanks for 35 months. This meticulous process helps to cultivate a unique flavor profile, featuring aromas of grass, green olives, hay, vanilla, butterscotch, and blackberries. On the palate, expect notes of toffee, honeysuckle, blackberries, blackcurrant, and damp hay. The finish is sweet and complex, presenting dried grass, briny green olive, white pepper, and ripe pear. Bottled at 40% ABV, this rum also boasts an artistic label by Jim'll Paint It, depicting a panoramic view from the distillery, overlooking the vibrant red sugarcane bushes. With only 836 bottles available, this rum is a rare gem that makes a remarkable addition to any rum collection, offering a one-of-a-kind flavor profile that will captivate and impress spirits enthusiasts.

Taste: Toffee, Blackcurrant, Grass, Blackberry, Honeysuckle
Finish: Fermented, Fruity, Dried apricot, Raspberry, Diluted
Overall: The rum offers a complex and intriguing flavor profile characterized by fermented notes, tropical fruitiness, and a hint of sweetness.
The nose is very vegetal and herbaceous, diverging significantly from typical agricole rums and leaning towards a spicy, piquant aroma. It bears some resemblance to Haitian clairin but remains distinctively unique. The intensity of the nose is notable for a 40% ABV rum, with sweet undertones making it quite interesting. On the palate, the rum is balanced and enjoyable, with fresh cane aromas complemented by spicy, peppery touches. However, the reviewer finds it a bit too mild and lacking in length, suggesting it could benefit from a higher ABV.
