Privateer True American Bottled In Bond Rum Review
Ideal for bourbon drinkers and rum enthusiasts alike, this bottled-in-bond, molasses-based sipping spirit dishes up an initially reserved nose, but that mirrors its refined, nuanced character. We're greeted with whispers of mocha, molasses, and caramel that emerge with full force on this rum's texturally rich, chewy palate. Magical things are happening in the rum realm up in Massachusetts, and this expression from Ipswich-based Privateer Rum is a testament to that notion.
