Kong (70cl)

Kong is a spiced rum aged for nine years in American oak casks in Guatemala. It is distilled in very small plenty of 4,804 units, using native ingredients from gorilla habitat such as banana, eucalyptus, wild celery, blackberries, bamboo shoots, sugar cane and aromatic herbs. Part of the profits goes to The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International. On the nose it offers spices, eucalyptus and citrus. The palate is soft and fresh, with vanilla, mandarin and oak. It can be enjoyed neat or with a few ice cubes. It is bottled in a white ceramic gorilla-head bottle, distinguishing it from the 12-year-old version sold in a black bottle.
