Lunatic & Lovers vision is to distill the finest botanical rum this world has ever tasted. Are they mad to imagine they can? Or would it be greater lunacy to assume they cannot?
BOTANICALS:
Orange Peel, Roasted Dandelion & Burdock Root, Horopito, Mairehau, Nutmeg, Pimento, Bay Leaf,
Orris Root, Cacao Nib, Coffee Bean, Green Cardamom.
TASTING NOTES:
Aroma: Bright citrus at first with a noticeable but well integrated spicy oakiness. Less herbal than the silver.
With time the earthier notes come through and a definite roasted coffee note.
Palate: The wood sugars have played their part and have married beautifully with the warm orange and oak. Baking spices dominate the mid palate with a pleasing silky mouth feel. This develops into coffee, chocolate and generally ruminess that combine with wood tannins to give richness and structure. Pleasant lingering heat on finish.
APPEARANCE:
Light gold, similar to a Fino Sherry or an aged Chardonnay.
