Spring is here and for May we have sourced a beautiful Spiced Rum from Matugga. The rum is made with molasses from sugar canes grown in the rich, red soil of East Africa, and has been distilled in the UK since 2015 winning New York wine and spirit Silver award.
Matugga Spirits are carefully crafted in the U.K. through small-batch copper pot distillation. Their proud heritage combined with playful innovation has produced a tipple which is adventurous and captures the unique flavours of Africa.
We hope you agree that Matugga is both a journey, and the destination! The distillers are now based in Scotland and have a very carefully crafted product range. Back in 2017 we featured their golden rum which was a fantastic success and is still winning awards and obtaining great reviews.
In May’s box;
Matugga Spiced Rum – 70cl/42% alc./vol
Fentimens natural ginger ale – 150ml
1x fresh lime
The Expressions
On the nose one can sense hot spice with a touch of ginger, cumin, cardamom seed. Underneath there is sweetness and a hint of what’s to come. On the palate black tea is prominent and joined by a surprising kick of bonfire smoke and mustard seed. A subtle honey flavour builds in the background aligning the sweetness from the nose. The finish sees some big flavours come through from cedar, crunchy brown sugar, smokey tea and black liquorice.
We adore this rum neat or served over ice mixed with Fentimans ginger ale and a slice of fresh lime.
We look forward to supplying your next bottling of fine rum.
Cheers,
