Bows Rhum blanc Estador

Bows Rhum blanc Estador is a molasses-based white rum from the French producer Bows, bottled clear and unaged to show the raw spirit. White rums of this kind are typically column-distilled for a clean profile, though the higher strength here suggests a little more body and grip than a standard mixing white.

At 45% this carries more punch than the usual 37.5% white, making it a sturdy base for cocktails as well as a crisp sipper for those who like it neat and cold. Expect a light, faintly sweet cane character with a touch more intensity from the proof. A capable, no-nonsense white from a small French producer.
