back from the beach
The nice thing about having a blog with no readers is that you can go away for a few weeks and there's no one to notice or complain.
Here's something that I bought while I was away. It comes in a remarkably heavy bottle. The label says that it's the "world's finest luxury rum," so it must be good. There's a chip in the plastic of the T-top, though -- did I do that?
Nose is all sweetness: raisins and figs, coconut, bananas foster, and loads of sasparilla, oddly enough.
Palate maintains the sweet profile, although I'm not sure there's really a lot of sugar in there. If there were more sugar, this would be candy. There's just a tiny bit of grassiness -- maybe even green tobacco -- against the sweetness.
Overall, the profile reminds me of a combination of cream soda and suntan oil from the 70's. It's appealing, though. Makes a nice daquiri, too, if you like the sasparilla flavors.
score: 70
