Notes

About Thunder and lightning: This is the quintessential Spanish style rum, sporting all the rich sweetness and warming spices (with none of the funk you may find in a Jamaican rum). 15 years in a refill ex-bourbon barrel has created a vibrant spirit to indulge in at the perfect time of year!

Tasting Panel Note: Warm baking spices next to vanilla syrup, honey and marzipan were the initial aromas mentioned. Given time, the scents of nutmeg, bananas and a soft, lightly musky note of cashmere wool appeared. We were all surprised by the spiciness on the palate neat; pepper, ginger and cinnamon. There was also sweetness in the form of a warm ‘thunder and lightning’ scone. Water released the scent of a blackcurrant frangipane tart, vanilla slices, cognac liqueur-grilled orange slices and barbecued mangoes with pistachio nuts and honey. The smooth mouthfeel was like a red fruit salad with vanilla ice cream and honey syrup.
