Kasama Rum is a brand new model being produced by Alexandra Dorda – the daughter of Tad Dorda, who co-founded Belvedere and Chopin Vodka within the early ’90s. Now the Filipino-Polish entrepreneur is right here to convey a rum that includes each of her cultures to the lots. It’s distilled within the Philippines and bottled in Poland, after spending 7 years in ex-bourbon barrels.

Seven 12 months outdated rum? What can go incorrect. Effectively, let me clarify.

Kasama Rum kicks issues off with an ultra-sweet nostril of maple syrup and (particularly) candied pineapple. There’s no mistaking the place this expertise is headed simply from the aroma alone: candy and fruit-heavy, to the exclusion of principally all the things else. There’s an overload of further pineapple on the palate, adopted by notes of vanilla, cotton sweet, and extra Sunday morning breakfast syrup notes. The sweetness, with a mountain of crushed pineapple omnipresent, by no means lets up — in any respect — resulting in a end that’s completely dripping with sugar, changing into virtually overbearing at instances.

The expertise is definitely manageable in small doses, however after half a glass it rapidly turns into an excessive amount of to deal with. I wouldn’t dream of consuming this straight on the common. Tropical cocktails would possibly be capable of deal with it in small proportions — a pina colada, maybe? — however for extra elegant libations, Kasama’s a decidedly robust proposition.

80 proof.
