That is one other providing from these loopy Danes at AuRhum and this launch is unquestionably a loopy one. However first, a bit of data.
AuRhum is an organization comprising three Rum fanatics, Alexander Vincit, Lindy Andersen and Tommy Andersen. These three fanatics have recognized one another for an excellent a few years and so they share a ardour for his or her Rum ‘interest’. However why resolve to develop into impartial bottlers in a market that’s changing into saturated? Various levels of high quality and ranging levels of honesty throughout the current market are two causes.

In consequence their key guidelines are primarily based round zero components and nil sugar. They need the expertise to be genuine, trustworthy and extra importantly, reasonably priced with out having to spend upwards of £100 on a bottle. With all of this in thoughts, AuRhum intention to create a spread of bottlings which can be both distinctive or that allow not often seen distillates to be loved. As if their lofty, however smart objectives weren’t sufficient, as each Alexander and Lindy work within the armed forces they need to help and assist each present and former colleagues who maybe haven’t shared their luck. They insist that 5% of the corporate income have to be donated to a Veteran Charity in Denmark.
The aged “Purity” launch was reviewed a short time in the past and may be discovered right here. Now that you simply’re again, its time to maintain issues brief and candy as I’m fairly enthusiastic about this one.

Tasting Notes
Nostril: It is a BIG one……it makes your entire home odor superb. Large acetone notes fill the air on preliminary pour…..however there’s one thing actually comforting about it. It’s stuffed with vivid and punchy pineapple notes. Loads of sweetness using a wave of liquorice and that aroma that you simply solely get when contemporary pot distillate hits your palms straight from the storage tank faucet and begins to heat up. That intoxicating combination of molasses and acetone. It feels creamy with notes of pure yoghurt. Time permits you to push by into some mild mashed banana and candied sweetness sitting atop pear drops, pineapple cubes and aniseed balls. The highest notes are calmly floral however all the time have the undercurrent of brooding molasses depth. The heat and feeling of standing subsequent to a nonetheless within the Caribbean accompanied by liquorice, alcohol vapours and people mildly bitter notes. The additional you dig the extra you’re feeling one thing salty and savoury develop with black olives and perhaps a touch of sunshine soy sauce.
Mouth: A sizzling one to begin with that tosses apart some preliminary sweetness to dish up a number of spice. Aniseed, ginger juice, cumin black pepper and liquorice root powder. Inexperienced olive tapenade and a touch of flaked sea salt. It’s large and oily on the palate displaying superb persistence and the flexibility of a number of the most interesting negotiators to hammer its level dwelling in any respect prices. The alcohol alarmingly doesn’t really feel an excessive amount of at 63%. There’s a mellowing of the distillate on the mid palate however the persistence stays, releasing a wave of fruity sweetness resplendent with pineapple, guava and banana skins and the liquorice midget gems which can be so not often discovered lately. Molasses returns on the end with a vengeance and it carries with it an actual salty coastal vibe. Inexperienced olive and salted lemon peel however with a contact of powdered sugar. It has fairly a prolonged end but it surely doesn’t give any greater than the sooner experiences….reasonably it simply permits them to fade, however when it has that candy salty interaction right down to a tee why does it must.
In conclusion: Consider this as extra of a transportation vessel than a Rum….I accomplished my notes within the backyard listening to Slam FM from Bridgetown adopted by Zip FM from Kingston and the aromas and tastes accompanied by the 31 diploma warmth put me proper in the midst of a distillery with these lovely molasses, liquorice and bitter notes backed up with intense heat. As with a number of these Rums the nostril is by far the winner with regards to straight tasting however that’s to take nothing away from the standard of the distillate which is exemplary. I’ve paired it with tropical soda, coke and even tonic….it additionally works very properly in small portions in a banana quaint. Pretty stuff and properly chosen by the chaps at AuRhum.
