Botafogo Rum Blanc

Botafogo Rum Blanc is an unaged white Trinidad rum, distilled from molasses and bottled at a standard 40%. Trinidad's living style leans light, clean and fragrant in the Spanish-heritage idiom, and unaged the spirit shows that character at its most transparent, fresh sugar cane brightness with a soft, gentle body. This is a straightforward mixing rum rather than a sipping bottle, built to sit in cocktails and long drinks where its lightness lets other ingredients lead. Honest and uncomplicated, it does the job of a clean white base, the workhorse end of the Trinidad rum spectrum rather than the showpiece.
