Bite the dust

You have to like this taste. I am concerned with every cocktail that I mix with Rhum agricole, so - I have an only take two sips, I forced down; and any further sips are then wonders how this peculiar aroma. And I think Rhum agricole for a typical "acquired taste", which one must first learn to appreciate. In fact, he goes more in the direction as in the Grappa typical Dunkelrum direction.

I can not define what is this miraculous extra taste, this barrel-aged rhum agricole in addition to unripened white brings. It tastes very similar, but still has a touch of wood, which is not comparable to that of whiskey or rum molasses. There is more green wood, somehow.

In life, I would not get the idea, pure drinking this type of rum - because it makes me shudder before. But in cocktails that call for rum, he brings up a very independent, strong, grassy-woody and sharp note with which other ingredients can not dub, and he from virtually any mixture is herausschmeckbar.

Of course, he does not fit in a smooth, delicate rum cocktail. He wants to be mixed in the wild, strong, brutal formulations, due to its nature. One of them would be very spicy, scratchy and masculine "Dreams of Cane".

1 1/2 oz Saint James Royal Ambré
1/2 oz ginger liqueur (eg King's Ginger)
1/2 oz lime juice
1/2 oz triple sec (or, if you want it quite vigorously, Clément Créole Shrubb)

This drink, supereisgekühlt - the hot summer evening, with friends, and a rich Cajun seasoned grilled steak to the Caribbean and come home. But beware that pops into the bulb.

As with all my reviews spirits is my intention: to drink no more, but better.
