Cut To The Smoke 3-Year

Tasted massively of coffee and not rum ... Bizarre flavourings ... Not my cup of tea ... Taste notes of smokiness and coffee

Powerfully smoky rum from the Cut Rum range. Made with a base of Jamaican rum and smoked using oak chips, this will stand out in cocktails and might make for an intriguing alternative postprandial tipples for people with a penchant for peaty whisky.

Got this 5cl sample from the RR Tasting Club.
The recognizable aromas is coffee, vanilla, cocoa and tobacco.
In mouth I recognize sugar, burnt meat, leather, smoke and sulfur.
The finish is medium long, tastes like in the mouth plus vanilla.
Overall a quite complex rum, but 5cl is enough.
Picture: My emptied sample poured in a glass together with two other Cut rums.

It should not come as a surprise to anybody that this rum has a smokey flavour. However, it is so overpowering, so lingering, that it drives away pleasant aspect of the rum.

Not one I'd be keen to drink again.

Pleasant coffee taste that lasts for a very long time.

Very smoky flavour, very powerful, quite a nice rum to drink with coke

Yes, strong taste of coffee and Smoke, def not my tipple

A smoky aroma and dare I say it coffee? Smoky coffee taste and yea it is GREAT with cola!

It certainly is smoky but not overpowering. Nice aftertaste and with a bit of ice and a splash of coke goes down well.

Interesting as a very different, original rum. You can smell the real smoke and taste the real smoke with a smoke aftertaste. All very smooth in a smoke smooth kind of way
