This Ron Prohibido rum, available in the UK for the first time, is quite unlike any other rum I have tried.
Dark brown in the glass, it smells intensely of dried fruits, raisins and prunes with butterscotch and mocha.
The palate is like a rich Christmas pudding with brandy butter - sweet dried dark fruits and roasted spices with woody notes, bitter coffee and dark chocolate, smothered in caramel and butterscotch.
Rich, complex and indulgent, it is also mellow and harmonious - not least because it is aged in a solera system, like sherry; indeed, it is rather reminiscent of an aged, dark, sweetened sherry.
Very Good.
Drink as a digestif, or with espresso, dark chocolate and a cigar.
£24.95 from www.drinkfinder.co.uk; provided for review.
