Shimla Spiced Rum

Appearance
Rum should be crystal clear and as transparent as pure water. Dullness or haziness could mean it is faulty. Unfiltered rums may go a little hazy when you add water – that’s OK.
A slight lemon cast could be the result of ageing, as ageing in wood casks is becoming more popular; this can come through in colour and in the overall taste.

Palate
Sip the rum and wash it around your mouth. How does it taste? Flavour and intensity should be similar in your mouth as on the nose.
How does it feel? Warming, smooth and mouth-coating, or spiky and edgy? How many flavours can you taste and how do they develop? Do they linger, or is it a clean end?
Overall
Consider whether the aromas were balanced and complex, how long the finish was, and whether the rum had an overall smooth texture.
Think about the notes you have written and grade the rum. You can use them to compare several different rums and decide your personal favourites. Hopefully Shimla Spiced Rum is one of them!
