Aguardiente Cristal

It clearly isn't the best rum out there, but when you're colombian you really get to enjoy this product

nothing to do with rum. more like a ouzo, raki kind of drink

I was curious and picked up a bottle in Lexington. The Licorice flavor was very apparent. I wasn't bad overall and a fresh take on can spirits that I haven't seen before. I haven't trade mixing it yet to see if it has any wonderful partners.

Tasted in a rum flight of Columbian rums at Cuba Libre in Washington DC on 5/22/23. Pours clear. Strong aroma of a blend of mouthwash mint and paint thinner acetone. Astringent mouthfeel. Flavor is licorice, but not support strong like anise, samba or uzo. Interesting for those who like black licorice.

Not my sugar cane drink
