Smoking Rums
My brother bought a smoking kit to unfuse smoked flavor onto his bourbon. I brought over some bland rums, and we smoked them with hickory, oak, cherry, and maple. Whoa what a dimension.
Anyone else try this, and what were your thoughts?
I'm fascinated by this! Mezcal is tequila without rules and an ass load of smoke! It's a winning combination! Single Malt Scotches from certain regions are also quite smokey and there's definitely a few bourbons that have a fair level of smoke.
Two questions:
What were the rums and was it good?...in your opinion, obviously-I assume yes, otherwise you probably wouldn't mention it.
I have thought about the concept of smokey rum but I feel like I was always concerned that it wouldn't work, so I'm very curious to hear the results.
My favorite smokey rum that isn't smoked at home is "Stolen."
Moving on to actually smoking rums with a kit: I picked a handful of average rums off the shelf, plus a bland Hawaiian blonde rum. I tried different wood chips on each, depending on their flavor profile. The Hawaiin rum got maple chips, and wow was it great. I also did oak with some of the immature rum to create a longer oak aging process. It was pretty good.
I just found this aspect of smoking and I'm looking for a good smoking kit. Anyone got some insight? I can't wait to move on this.
I got one on Amazon. I have tried two different types and they are both great. I like this style better:

Ok, I went ahead and got one on amazon for $30. Well, it works great for cheap rum and especially my bloodies but trying it with decent rum was not worthy. My bloodies are way happy but good rum needs no help! Glad I got it and use it with every bloody mary I drink. I did notice that swirling the drink while it smokes tends to blend the smoke better. Thanks to all for a very inventive way to add complexity to cocktails!
