Smuggler's Reserve Pure Cane Rum (70cl, 50%)

Smuggler's Reserve Pure Cane Rum is a cane-juice white rhum from Infinity Spirits, an Amsterdam-based blender. Unlike the rest of the range, it starts from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses, and is column-distilled as a multi-origin blend at 50% ABV in a 700ml bottle. The fresh cane base gives a grassier, greener, more vegetal profile than a molasses rum, with enough strength to stand up in mixed drinks. The nose shows fresh-cut grass, green cane and white pepper. The palate is dry and vegetal with clean cane sweetness underneath, and the finish is warm, bright and quick at 100 proof.
