The Big Friendly Rummy (2023)
“Deep black pour with faint head. Nice rum-barrel aroma from the first whiff. Distinctly dried black currant aroma. Some vanilla. Malted-milk-ball sweetness. Reminds me of a Fig Newton. Barrel character assertive but not overly dominant, nicely balanced with malt. Cloud-like body floats across the palate dropping flavors of rum, cherry, dates, chocolate, vanilla. A unique experience that delivers on flavor and drinkability given the ABV.”
