Kirk and Sweeney Burning Mast Hot Pepper Rum (750 ml)

Description

Rum runners took comfort on the high seas under glowing masts caused by St. Elmos Fire. Neither lightning nor actual fire, it is a rare weather phenomenon that gives the appearance of burning masts during thunderstorms.

It was truly extraordinary, like this spirit crafted and aged in the Dominican Republic, BURNING MAST promises enticing aromas of caramel, vanilla, and honeysuckle. The silky red-hot finish consumes the palate with sensations of freshly sliced chili peppers and cashews.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: This deeply golden-colored rum offers a delightfully sweet aroma with prominent notes of honeysuckle, caramel, and vanilla layered with habanero spice and cinnamon.
• Palate: Initial taste reveals freshly sliced chili peppers upfront, leading to a softer note of cashews. With each sip, habanero spice builds throughout the mid-palate without lingering too long.
• Finish: Balanced between hot and sweet flavors, the bold red hot finish spreads throughout the mouth with each sip adding more spice.
