SeaWolf
SABV – 41% | Size - 50cl
SeaWolf is the first premium white rum to be distilled on Scottish soil and was launched on 1st December 2016
Created by Jason Scott and Mike Aikman, the duo behind world renowned Edinburgh bars Bramble, Lucky Liquor and The Last Word and Gavin Ferguson who co-founded Scottish independent wine merchants Vino Wines. This is a rum that’s made to be mixed. In a quest to create our ideal Daiquiri, we designed SeaWolf. Simply made, a Daiquiri consists of white rum, fresh lime juice and sugar. The quality of the cocktail rests heavily on the base spirit (and the caliber of the bar tender). The integrity and mixability of our rum was the number one goal in it’s development.
Tropical Rum distilled in untropical Scotland
Tasting Notes
Nose - Intensely fruity, with fresh cut pear and apple, and a punnet of slightly squished blackberries. An aroma of synthesised grape flavouring I get with a lot of Scottish new make from whisky distilleries is there. Banana bread and dried banana notes develop, finally stating its presence as a rum. A clean, relatively delicate but still complex nose
Palate - That fruit and banana is there (I’m thinking Fruit n’ Fibre with absolutely none of the fibre, just the banana chips, dried apple and raisins) but it is amazing how clean and then quickly drying the palate is, with a clay-like earthiness in the finish.
Overall - Is this what slow-fermented, Scottish white rum is supposed to taste like? Who knows, it’s the only one I’ve had the chance to try. I hope so, as it is engaging and different. Arthur Motley – Royal Mile Whiskies
