Rosemullion Distillery Dark

The usual suspects of caramel, coffee and clove are present, so nothing new on that front. However, the flavours and heat are incredibly well balanced, leading to a rum which is great as a sipping rum but would work well in a zombie too.

Very strange profile. Very dark almost translucent with a moderate alcohol burn on the scent. First sip neat hints of licorice then grassy note, slightly like Sambuca. Appears to be young rum I’m thinking 5 years which is hard to figure the dark color. States that no color has been added. Very nice presentation in the bottle and cap. Second sip with ice I note burnt sugar and orange peel same grassy finish. I don’t think I can drink this rum at least not tonight. My pallet goes more for Caribbean West Indies, Central & S American rum.

Great tasting rumnthats very easy to drink goes well on its own or with some nice cold ginger beer.

First found this Rum at a Cornish market .
They were offering tasters and I tried each sample.
The dark was immediately my favourite and I bought a bottle immediately.
I usually have spiced Rum but this was smooth and easy on the palette.
The Rum was a rich dark and natural colour.
Just sent off for another bottle from their website!

Bottle is a good shape, I believe hand blown glass, the stopper great so packaging has the quality look and feel. Then down hill all the way. My picture shows the true colour and it is too dark as if the rum had been in an overcharred barrel. Not enough scent on the nose and a weak taste of liqourice and caramel. A disappointment from Cornwall.

I reckon this is the best offering from Rosemullion so far. Loads of creamy smooth dried fruit flavours and a lovely lingering mouthful of liqourice.
Amazingly smooth for such a young rum, definitely in my top 10!
