Blackstrap is the only spirit of its kind that we know of – a new make rum, except made with black strap molasses instead of the fine or fancy molasses which most of the world's rums are made with. The blackstrap gives it a uniquely dark flavour.
Don't take our word for it. Jason Hambrey at insearchofelegance writes:
"The character is clean and clear – a terrific, clean nose full of molasses, blueberries, and toffee. Very clean and full flavored on the palate with lots of clean molasses and toffee and yet still very light and round. The palate slowly rises in heat to a clean, full-bodied fruity and berry finish with lingering molasses and spice. Brilliant!
...
I don’t taste too many white rums, but this is one of the best I’ve had, and it’s a huge improvement over most of the big commercial ones."
This is the perfect mojito mixer. Last Straw co-founder and lawyer, Mike Hook, prefers it with soda and a squeeze of key lime on a hot summer day.
