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

Custom-designed yeast and two and a half weeks of fermentation give this edition of the Skunk family a surprising mild tartness that almost brings the Mediterranean to mind.

Expert Description

Striped Skunk Rum is a Danish Rum, distilled from organic molasses from Paraguay at A Clean Spirit after a 2.5-week fermentation on custom-designed yeast, unaged and bottled at 69.3%.

Where the other Skunk releases draw clearly on the powerful Jamaican style, Striped Skunk takes a different direction with notes more reminiscent of Mediterranean herb fields than Caribbean tropical fruit. The long fermentation period on the custom yeast gives the rum a mildness of acidity and alcohol that's unusual at this high strength, making it well suited to fresh drinks like a mojito.

The result is an aromatic, herbaceous rum, where mint and Italian culinary herbs take centre stage.
