Brinley Gold Shipwreck Mango

The mango adds a nice fruity tropical flavour but is not overwhelming. An excellent standby.

Enjoyed a bottle of Brinley Gold Mango Rum while vacationing in Las Vegas. Unique bottle and label design. Pure alcohol and plenty of soapy mango to the nose and palate. Strong burn at the end. Mix this up with your favorite soda.

I finally got my hands on a bottle of this one. To me, mango is just as much associated with tropical flavors as coconut, lime, and bananas. Adding mango nectar to a very good white rum has always been my way of achieving a good mango and rum mix, yet being very sweet and thick. Since I have great respect for the Brinley line of rums, I did not hesitate to try this one at only $23.

The Brinley family obviously has a master distiller with an advanced degree in biochemistry. This rum is completely transparent with a pale yellow color. It does not taste like an actual mango nor does it taste artificial. The combination of white rum and mango renders this one as another definitive refreshing tropical drink. It can be sipped neat, on the rocks, or in exotic tropical drinks. Do NOT waste it in cola!
