Samaroli Caribbean Rum 2017

Samaroli is a distributor that started their journey with scotch and that is apparent with their rum selection. Smoke, burnt sugar, bright fruit, honey, and leather come through clearly on the nose and palate. Very light but still complex and mature. Excited I found this gem and got to try 3 of the very exclusive Samaroli rums on a casual lunch stop. *chefs kiss*

This is a fruty and leathery drink. Limited bottling, I have #305/444 after a long search for this type of release. The ABV is 48%, which gives it enough character, compared to most runs at 40%. The color is light gold, and on the palate I get leather/tobacco notes with light citrus. Not disappointed.
