Bira! South Pacfic Rum 12 Year

Tasting Notes

From Rum Revalations;

Nosing

It’s a heavy rum. Oak, grapes, band-aid, banana, molasses, stony minerals, motor oil, light olives. My thoughts keep going to opening a first aid kit. It’s very medicinal.

Tasting

Soooo medicinal. Pepper, diesel, oak, olives, rubber, coffee, raisins and cinnamon. There is quite a bit of sweetness up front, with no intense burn. There is a nice amount of wood spice intertwined with coffee and chocolate, tingling on your tongue. The medium finish has a slight oaky bitterness with a hint of dark chocolate.

Conclusion

First thing you’ll notice when you pour this into a glass is how aromatic it is. You can smell it from quite a distance. If you like medicinal rums, this is definitely one you need to buy. Don’t drink this right before going on a date though, as that flavour stays in your mouth for a long time. It’s intense!

If I have to compare the flavour profile to other rums I’d say it’s Hamilton St Lucia meets old TDL rum and a drop of Caroni.
