Rum Nation Jamaica White Pot Still Rum (57%) Pt 2

1. In The Mouth: 32.5/60

The Jamaican White Pot Still Rum is very intimidating and complex. Sipping in small amounts keeps the tasting senses intact. According to the company, there are no residual sugars present, although there is a mild butterscotch flavor detected at the end of the sip. The alcohol heat which follows this is capable of numbing the tongue. Besides, it renders it impossible to taste more to assess its qualities.

There is a slightly salty tone inside the sweet butterscotch flavor. The presence of menthol cools the tongue. Although it never saw the oak barrel, there are flavors like sanded birch, sandalwood, fresh leather, and fresh leather. Chocolate and tea also made an appearance with piney juniper and asphalt tar mixed in there somewhere.

2. In The Throat: 54/60

The rum would dry the mouth when it is filled with flavors like cool menthol and mildly salty dark licorice. These are the major tastes which pass through the throat as one tastes the drink. These flavors remain for a long time after every sip prior to being chased out by the emergence of something resembling resin-like airplane glue. Overall, the rum is both enticing and intimidating at the same time. It maintains these traits to the very end.

3. The Afterburn: 57/60
