Details: Lot 1 is our ode to the micro blend. The art of the blend is one of our greatest passions at Privateer. It allows us to celebrate the unique aspects of our casks and requires the selection of some of our finest barrels. In this blend, we aim to highlight the individual expressions and character of each rum while building a balance and complexity in order to create a spirit beyond the sum of its parts. Tasting notes include honey comb, apricots, dried pineapple, hazelnuts, pecans, black cherry, and lime leaf.
Tasting Notes : Nose : still melting dribbling down your hand toffee, rich butterscotch
Palette: The first sip gives you a total mouth feel , like somebody is coating your tongue in a dark rich melted sugar , strangely not sweet though, followed by ripe pineapple sautéed in a frypan of rich Demerara sugar haphazardly drizzled with maple syrup. Now picture grandmas apple strudel on the mid palette followed by a medium length dry finish.
Despite its punchy ABV absolutely no burn....
