Distillery:
Deadhead is a 6 year old rum in a bottle shaped like a shrunken head, known as a Tsantsa, a trophy kept from a defeated enemy. Unique doesn’t even cut it, as far as this bottle goes. The rum itself is a blend of sugar cane juice and molasses – it is double-distilled and matured in European oak barrels for six years before being expertly blended to achieve the desired rich, spicy flavour profile.
Deadhead 6 Year Old Rum Tasting Notes
Nose: Apples, pears and perhaps a little bit of strawberry juice. Quite grassy – if you enjoy a rhum agricole every once in a while, you’ll pick up familiar notes here. Developing hints of mint chocolate too.
Palate: Less fruit sweetness than the nose (though orchard fruits to persist subtly). More focus on cooking spices and runny caramel, as well as continued rhum agricole grassy notes.
Finish: Medium length, with oak warmth and a touch of lemon peel.
