Journeyman Distillery Road’s End Rum, Michigan, USA (750ml)

DISTILLER’S NOTES:

Roads End Rum is reminiscent of early 20th century Jamaican rums and the antithesis of modern flavorless mass-produced rums. Although produced as rum industrial (molasses based rums), this rum walks the line of rhum agricole (sugar case based rums) with its robust profile. Excellent for cocktails or simply sipping neat to experience a spirit made from an unusual ingredient in the blackstrap molasses. When a road meets its end, theres little more to do than reflect, turn around and see where youve been. Oftentimes an end means a change, and thus, new things. Theres celebration here, renewal.

TASTING NOTES:

Big, bold, hearty, earth-like, and tropical notes of organic blackstrap molasses lands firmly both on the nose and the palate, but finishes with a soft, mellow sweetness.
