Wade into the warmth of the tropics with Project #173's Watermelon Rum, produced by combining a core of quality rum with the natural flavour of watermelon. If the word watermelon makes your mouth water, or you're looking to add a refreshingly exotic twist to cocktails, then this is certainly one to add to your shelf. Hopefully, that shelf is made of bamboo too, y'know, if you're really, truly into all things tropical. If not, you might find yourself rethinking your furniture after trying this one. Would a hammock fit in that corner over there?
Nose: Rich burnt sugar, distant hibiscus, and succulent fruits finally lead to delicate watermelon sorbet.
Palate: The watermelon takes hold on the palate with a fresh, juicy profile. The rum keeps things sweet and bold at the core with a hint of rubbery oak and charred caramel, while mellow fresh pressed melon prevails.
Finish: A tickle of warmth and sugared watermelon candies arrive towards the finish, with moist, refreshing fruit notes lasting on and on.
Overall: Laid back, juicy and delicious, especially while lounging in a wicker armchair.
