Rum

[Fuzhou]

Today, I made my first serious attempt at a decent bottle of rum.

Foursquare Masters Series 3rd Edition.

Cask strength, 62% abv.

This is a fourteen year old from Barbados.

Nose: tropical fruits shoots out of the bottle the second that cork came off.

Palate: warm Christmas cake. Flavor profile similar to some Armagnacs. That 62% abv is manageable here. It’s more close to a 45-50 mouth feel.

Second tasting was quite different. That 62% abv began to bite. I wonder why the heat wasn’t so pronounced last time.

Perhaps you had a clean palate this time?
