🌰 Flavor Profile and Tasting Notes
Here’s what people describe when tasting it: how it smells, how it tastes, how it finishes.
Aspect What You’ll Get / Expect
Nose / Aroma Rich aroma, savory with pronounced pecan, nuttiness, oak, hints of butterscotch.
Palate / Taste Opens warm, with flavors of pecan, caramel, maple, and sometimes hints of vanilla or bourbon-like oak.
Finish Smooth, slightly dry, with lingering pecan + caramel + maybe some spice (allspice etc.).
✔️ Strengths & What Makes It Special
It’s unique: one of the few rums aged / flavored with Texas pecans. That gives it a local, artisanal character.
No artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners according to the distillery. So the flavor of pecan
Very mixable: Many people enjoy it both neat and in cocktails, because the pecan/caramel flavors work well as supporting flavors.
⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind
The finish is only “slightly dry” but many of the early flavours are sweet or rich. So it can be heavier/flavorful compared to white / silver rums.
Because the character comes from pecans and oak, the flavor will vary by batch, or how long it’s been infused, which might make consistency an issue.
📍 Typical Uses & Cocktail Ideas
Excellent for neat sipping or on the rocks if you want to appreciate the pecan/oak flavors.
Great in cocktails that will let its nutty/caramel notes shine — e.g.:
Pecan Old Fashioned (swap bourbon or whiskey for this rum)
Rum Sour with a dash of pecan syrup or bitters
Dessert-style cocktails like rum with vanilla ice cream or pecan pie flavours
