Description
Crucial Drinks gathers rum from across the Asia-Pacific region into this Rum and Cane XO, a six year old blend brought in at an approachable 43%. The aim is a light, clean, fruit-driven style rather than anything heavy or funky, and a recognisable Fijian component gives it a little extra lift.
Matured in ex-bourbon wood, it noses light and fruity with tropical fruit and toffee over a faint spirity edge. The palate turns to orange, tropical fruit and strawberry with a dusting of spice, before a finish of black pepper, apricot and honey. It stays gentle and uncomplicated throughout, the kind of rum that drinks easily neat and folds happily into a cocktail. For anyone wanting a soft, fruity blend with a touch of regional character and no rough edges, it makes a relaxed and versatile pour.
