Rum Of Thailand Shani Px Casks Finish 70cl - Naga

This Thai rum presents a velvety profile derived from a finish in ex-Pedro Ximénez casks: visually a deep amber, on the nose dominated by sensations of dried fruit and fig jam, raisins and an underlying note of dark honey that lights the sweet component without tipping into excess. The cask wood gives slight notes of cocoa and sweet spices that balance the softness, while the local character adds a touch of warmth and vitality to the sip. There are also hints of vanilla and sweet tobacco.

On the palate it is round and enveloping, with an almost silky texture and a sweet entry that evolves into a finish that maintains freshness and sapidity; the PX finish concentrates the fruity tones without weighing them down. The persistence is pleasant, with fruity echoes and a reminiscence of caramel. It is suited to a slow tasting, neat or with a cube of ice to open the aromas; excellent with dark chocolate, dried-fruit desserts or as an ingredient for a rich, meditative cocktail.
