Intro:
Produced using a percentage of blackstrap molasses, Bully Boy Boston Rum is distilled by Bully Boy in MA. Known for using more heads than usual, this set of releases has been through quite a few batches - this one was Batch 57. This was tasted blind, and a reveal was provided when I handed in my notes. Let's dive in.
-
Nose:
Rich pecan, toffee, musty baking bread, sweet raisins and toffee, sticky and rich. No ethanol.
-
Taste:
Honey, honey dew, toffee. Super sweet, some nice barrel character. Over time molasses, brown sugar, root beer all deliver, with a light pepper structure. Sweet, but not cloying. Rummy.
-
Finish:
Short again, but sweet and rich. Faint heat, wisps away cleanly as it exits. Sweet, though, lots of maple, some fruity wine notes and a load of brown sugar.
-
Overall:
This is nice - a hair sweet, but not bad. Could use a boost in proof to give it a little more presence on the palate,but overall it was nice. This might be Barbados in origin, but I'm not sure. I'd guess its around the 10-12 year mark, if I had to. Maybe 46% ABV, max.
