We had an evening dedicated to exploring rums… and not your ordinary easily available rums… these were personally sourced by our host from a recent trip to Columbia. His goal? Find something you couldn’t locate anywhere else…

Baluarte 8 year 35% (Dictador)

• Nose – Citrus lemon, resin, sap, sour wine
• Palate – Soft, very light flavours, delicate and subtle, a touch of caynne and liquorice, fruit cake
• Finish – Long light spice, a bit bitter

Clearly this wasn’t an ‘in your face’ kinda rum, it was very light after La Hechicero, welcome for not being too sweet but not a favourite… still interesting to try.

Here is what else we explored in our rum evening:

• La Hechicera 40%
• Takamaka 8 year 40%
• Gobernador 12 year 35%
• Dictador Esencia 25 year 40%
