Brugal Añejo has a touch of the ocean, of salt and iodine. While this drink would not be out of place in a tiki bar, it seems more Atlantic than Pacific.

Rowen, I just made this drink. Brugal Anejo has characteristics like a Islay scotch, you say? Interesting...
ReplyDeleteI don't have any Brugal Anejo, so a combo that I thought might best imitate your tasting notes from my repertoire was 1 oz Bacardi 8 and 1 oz Ron Barcelo Anejo.
The result is one of the most interesting drinks I've had in a while. The overall dryness of the rums combined with the coffee liqueur and lime almost provide peppery and burnt notes... and the rums don't lend too much upfront flavor... only a backbone. I'm not tasting too much coconut, which is good I think. Did you make this? Very interesting stuff. For me, it's like a tiki drink meets a bonfire.
Thanks for the review. Glad you tried this. Yeah, this is one of mine—very much so, you might say. And not much coconut on purpose—just a little to compliment the slight seawater funk.
