Rum Dog Rum

Rum Dog Rum 

Produced in North Charleston, South Carolina the product is created from Florida Blackstrap molasses. During the distillation process the product is distilled and filtered twice before bottling. Beyond these facts very little is shared about the product.

Appearance

The squat 750 ml bottle is sealed with a wood capped plastic cork. The security stripe lists the named Edmonstone and Macmillan, LLC. The label provides some details about the rum and cockily expounds on this rums superiority to other rums in this category. The rum is predictably clear in the bottle and glass. Swirling the liquid creates a thin band, which drops fast moving legs and evaporates quickly leaving behind tiny beads.

Nose

The aroma of the rum delivers a faint hint of vanilla, ripe apple and a touch of pencil lead.

Palate

The flavor of the rum is surprising as it delivers a swirl of sweet vanilla, pears, apples, astringent alcohol and charcoal. The rum has an abrupt finish that leaves a residue on the teeth and tongue.

Review

As noted, the rum delivers a few unexpected pops of flavor, but is otherwise in line with a good bit of the other American craft rums I have experienced. Fairly priced the rum does well in any classic/Prohibition era cocktails.

-Rum Review by Mr. Paul Senft- 

My name is Paul Senft - Rum Reviewer, Tasting host, Judge and Writer. My exploration of Rums began by learning to craft Tiki cocktails for friends. I quickly learned that not all rums are created equally and that the uniqueness of the spirit can be as varied as the locales they are from. This inspired me to travel with my wife around the Caribbean, Central America, and United States visiting distilleries and learning about how each one creates their rums. I have also had the pleasure of learning from bar tenders, brand ambassadors, and other enthusiasts from around the world; each one providing their own unique point of view, adding another chapter to the modern story of rum. The desire to share this information led me to create www.RumJourney.com where I share my experiences and reviews in the hopes that I would inspire others in their own explorations. It is my wish in the pages of “Got Rum?” to be your host and provide you with my impressions of rums available in the world market. Hopefully my tasting notes will inspire you to tr y the rums and make your own opinions. The world is full of good rums and the journey is always best experienced with others.
