Red Beard Sailors Choice White Rum (50cl, 44%)

Red Beard Sailors Choice is a white rum distilled in Switzerland from imported Caribbean sugar cane molasses, with Swiss spring water. It meets Swiss organic regulations and is bottled at 44% in a 500ml bottle. The rum is colourless. Its profile combines tropical fruit with berries and sweet nut notes, and its soft character suits cocktails. The name refers to a seafaring legend in which Captain Balthasar's crew preferred white rum and bottled it before cask transport; the pirate motif on the parchment-style label reflects that story. On the nose, pineapple sits at the centre with liquorice, raspberries, sour cherries and caramelised almonds. The palate is light, smooth and sweet, with tropical fruit, blackberries, raspberries, passion fruit, marzipan and dried fruit. The medium finish leaves sugar cane and very ripe berries, with light nutty and floral notes.
