The Nectar Dada Chapel Aged Brhum Sugar Beet Rum (Barrel Selection Small Batch)

The Nectar Dada Chapel Aged Brhum Sugar Beet Rum is a single-cask release from the Belgian distillery Dada Chapel, notable for its unusual base of sugar beet rather than cane or molasses. Selected and bottled by The Nectar as a small-batch barrel pick, it is a genuinely offbeat entry in the rum world.

Pot-distilled and bottled at cask strength of 50% from a single barrel, this is the bolder, undiluted end of things. The sugar-beet base gives it a character distinct from conventional cane rum, earthier and more rustic, with the pot still adding weight and the proof adding grip. A drop of water helps. An adventurous bottling for drinkers curious about rum's outer edges.
