Langs Mango & Ginger Spiced Rum (70cl, 37.5%)

A spiced rum combining Jamaican rum with natural fruit flavours and the spicy character of ginger. The base is pot-still and column-still rum distilled from molasses, matured in former bourbon casks of American white oak and bottled in Scotland at 37.5%. Langs began in 1860s Glasgow, where Gavin and Alexander Lang traded wine and spirits; exotic goods arriving from the Caribbean inspired their rum recipes. Since 2003 the brand has belonged to Ian Macleod Distillers, which revived it in 2020. The nose recalls fresh mango puree and meringue, with fresh ginger and vanilla. The palate brings tropical fruit, ripe mango, juicy peach and lime, with candied ginger. The finish is long and spicy, with the warmth of ginger increasing.
