Arawak L’Authentique Schrubb

Schrubb is a Guadeloupe speciality, a rum liqueur traditionally made by macerating bitter-orange peel and spices, often tied to the island's Christmas season. This Arawak L'Authentique builds that classic recipe on a cane-juice base distilled on a column still, so it sits as a flavoured liqueur rather than a dry agricole.

The profile is bright with orange and orange peel, cinnamon and a touch of vanilla, citrus-led and aromatic, with the sugar carefully judged so the spice and peel stay in balance rather than turning cloying. At 32% it is soft and openly sweet, true to the schrubb tradition. This is a festive pour of orange and warm spice for chilled sipping or a seasonal cocktail, honest about its sweetness but well put together. A pleasant, characterful liqueur that carries a piece of Guadeloupe holiday custom in the glass.
