Spotted Skunk Rum Organic Danish Produced Rum A Clean Spirit 50 cl 69,3%

The second colour in A Clean Spirit's Skunk family shows how a new fermentation batch can produce an entirely different character, even from the same base recipe.

Expert Description

Spotted Skunk Rum is a Danish Rum, distilled from organic molasses from Paraguay at A Clean Spirit in 2022 after long fermentation, unaged and bottled at 69.3%.

As part of the experimental Skunk series, Spotted Skunk represents an independent batch with its own fermentation and distillation profile, distinct from the house's other Skunk releases. Where the original Skunk emphasises ripe banana and caramel, Spotted Skunk takes a more berry and pineapple-forward path with a pronounced spicy undertone.

The result is a fruity, lightly vegetal rum, where the long fermentation gives a pleasant complexity despite its young age.

Tasting Notes

Fruity with berries and banana.
