Whoa! This rum is excellent for the price. Tons of flavor going on here. Starts off grassy and sweet, much like a cachaça or Martinique rum. This is followed by the unmistakable hogo of a nice Jamaican rum, trailing off into a neat little finish of smooth, mellow age that mingles well with the funk.
About this bottle
The Denizen rum lineup (tagline: Free the Flavor) is offered by New York-based Citizen Spirits and custom-crafted in the Netherlands by highly regarded rum blenders E&A Scheer. Citizen Spirits founder Nick Pelis says that creating the perfect daiquiri rum was his inspiration for the Aged White flavor profile. It’s a blend of Caribbean rums: Eighty percent from Trinidad’s Angostura distillery, the remainder from several Jamaican distilleries. Although labeled a “three-year-old rum,” significantly older rums are found in the blend alongside unaged rum, so “three years” is more accurately an average age. Before bottling it’s lightly charcoal-filtered to remove coloring.

More complex than expected. Funky and woody with expected sweetness. Banana aroma and flavor throughout
Slightly grassy, hint of sweetness, makes a great mojito. Steal at $13.
