I don't know what the National drink of Nepal is but I am guessing it is not rum. Taste more like a chemical than rum.

This is Not Good

Had just a sample for this tasting so it’s just a first impression.
Had no expectations at all, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought. But it’s not that good that I will buy me a bottle.
It’s produced by Nepal Distilleries Private Limited in Kathmandu which started up in 1959. They are mostly known for that one of their bottles that’s shaped like an Nepalese Gurkha knife.
It’s distilled from molasses in a three column still whereafter it’s matured in some kind of special wooden oak vats.
They never empty the vats completely so the youngest rum seems to be just 8 months old while the oldest in the the blend could be quite old, but that age isn’t mentioned. It’s bottled at an ABV of 42,8%.
I can recognize vanilla, caramel, flowers and hints of licorice and menthol. These aromas and flavors goes from the nose via the mouth and palate to the finish which is medium long.

Rökig, gummi, vidrig, plåt, metall, absolut inte igen. God doft dock, helt missvisande.

Blommig nästan parfymig smak som biter direkt, smakade som kryddat brännvin. Ingen hit.

I can smell caramel and/or vanilla in the arroma, but this rum stayed quiet on the tip of my tongue. The sharpest reaction came at the start of the bitter receptors, but in a surprise, the finish was very smooth, almost a mirror to the initial taste.
Mixing with soda mellows this a lot, but it doesn't hide the hollow taste I associate with alcohol.

It does have notes of burned sugar and caramel, but on the slightly bitter side, with sweetness as well. It does not explode on impact, but has a pleasent taste and aftertaste. I could easily drink more of this.

More than anything, for me, Khukri was part of an adventure in Nepal. For that, it was great. It is widely available even when far from habitation in the Everest region. It gets considerably more pricey but that is to be expected.
Back in Kathmandu it is not particularly expensive and for a rum enthusiast it is worth at least tasting. However, that is about all of the nice things to be said about this rum. The aroma is pretty synthetic vanilla. The taste follows the same and is not very pleasant. I'm glad I gave it a try but this is not one you are excited to have an extra bottle to take home.

No clue why this has such a bad rating. In my opinion this is an ok rum with big vanilla notes, oak and caramel with some nepaleses spices.

Very surprising and a different kind of rum!

Found this rum hiding on the very, very bottom shelf of some unremarkable liquor store in the wrong part of town for $12.99 and decided to purchase it on a whim. Lucky I did - this is one tasty, full-bodied rum! On the nose there's lots of caramel, buttery oak, vanilla, and an unusual almost citrusy-floral note that is hard to place. Going in, there's a beautifully bold, oaky-sweet character that quickly gives way to a spicy, woody note, that doubles up in your mouth and elegantly morphs into a peppery, molasses-like, lingering end. Very unusual aromas of treacle, raisin, and rubber tire. Some may think this to be on the sweet side; I say it is 'bittersweet' with some real heat! Wish I could find more of this stuff - it was the last bottle they had.
