New Holland Freshwater Amber

One of my go to and favorite sipping rums! Made by one of my local breweries/distilleries

Not overly sweet, but heavy on raisin/currant flavors from aging in wine casks.

Floral and clove nose, super smooth not too sweet, only reason its not an 8 is because the finish goes a bit tangy with an overburn like burnt caramel but not in a good way

Nice sipper. Smooth but not overly complex. Not at all sweet. Has some alcohol punch , but in balance. Nice clean oak, lemon and grass notes. Very full. Stays on the pallet to a long cool finish. I may come back and give this an 8. Solid 7.5. Way to go Michigan. A “freshwater” rum from the state that gave us the Flint Mi poison water debacle. Damn nice comeback!
