A skilled blend of rums aged in ex-bourbon white oak barrels for between five and twenty years, Idle Assembly is a luxury product crafted by a third generation family of premium rum blenders in Colombia, with rums from Trinidad, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Panama. An excellent rum that makes mixed drinks and even the most flamboyant cocktail taste better, Idle Assembly is appealing to connoisseurs and first-time rum drinkers alike.
Tasting Note:
Aroma: The aroma leads with a light ginger note with orange blossom, toasted coconut, and added depth of oak spices, bergamot and sandalwood. Medjool dates and a hint of white chocolate, with a lightly floral overtone backed by Palo Santo wood.
Palate: The palate gives an initial note of Maraschino cherries, orange sherbery and clove. Some light toffee notes appear, supported by a backbone of nutmeg, cinnamon and Madagascan vanilla. Rose water, fig leaf and light honey notes complete the complex profile of this delicious rum.
Finish: The aftertaste, the finish, has a light biscuit note, ripe banana, cocoa nibs, liquorice and cigar tobacco, with a hint of toasted almonds and cherry Bakewell tart.
