Blackforest Spiced Rum (50cl, 42%)

Blackforest Spiced Rum is a spiced rum from Germany. It is made from Paraguayan sugar cane molasses fermented without added cultured yeast, then distilled twice in copper pot stills. The rum matures for six years in six different casks. It is bottled at 42% in a 500 ml bottle without gift packaging. The producer is WILD Schwarzwaldbrennerei & Weingut GmbH in Gengenbach, where the Wild family has run distilling, fruit growing and wine growing since 1855. On the nose there is toffee, dried fruit, especially raisins, fine pastry and subtle bitter orange. The palate is soft and balanced, with ripe banana, candied orange and cinnamon. Vanilla and caramel shape the very long finish.
