Ballast Point Three Sheets Rum (75cl, 40%)

Ballast Point Three Sheets Rum is a California small-batch white rum from Ballast Point Spirits in San Diego. Rather than molasses, it is made by fermenting organic evaporated cane sugar with the distillery's proprietary yeast strain, then distilled in a custom-built hybrid pot and column still and bottled unaged at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The rum is unflavoured, with no added flavouring, and is crystal clear. Its nose is soft and clean, with fresh cane sugar and a hint of vanilla. The palate is light and subtly sweet, with gentle tropical fruit, and the finish is smooth and crisp. It suits a Daiquiri, Mojito, Cuba Libre, tiki drinks or rum punch, and can be sipped over ice with a squeeze of lime.
