Black Work Pirates Rumlikör Karamell

Black Work Pirates Rumlikoer Karamell is a caramel rum liqueur from Germany, a category that takes a rum base and sweetens and flavours it heavily. The caramel billing is the whole point here, promising a thick, confected sweetness rather than the dry spirit character of an aged rum.

At 40% and openly a liqueur, this is dessert in a glass: expect toffee, burnt sugar and vanilla in a syrupy, low-restraint style. It suits pouring over ice cream, lacing a coffee or sipping in small measures, and should be taken on those terms rather than as a sipping rum.
