The Scarlet Ibis Rum

Scarlet Ibis Rum shows evidence of its 3-5 years in small oak casks by its color which is between pale straw to light honey. After warmed slightly in my glass the nose reveals a fairly tame amount of alcohol considering the 98 proof. Delicate aromas of brown sugar and dried fruit blend well with the alcohol that is evident but not as dominate as you’d expect. Overall a pleasant nose. First sip confirms the proof with warmth up front. It has a medium body and slightly sweet flavors with a hint of oak and allspice giving way to an unapologetic bold, warm, and dry finish.

originally very limited and imported for one of New York’s premier cocktail bars, Death & Co.

They no longer distill or bottle rum but they sell the remaining stocks of their aged rum. In Austria the final production occurs. It isn’t going to be around long so get it where you can. 750ml.
