Langs Banana Rum: A Tropical Escape in Every Sip (The General Wine)

Calling all rum aficionados and fans of the exotic! Here at The General Wine, we're thrilled to introduce Langs Banana Rum, a delightful spirit that captures the essence of the Caribbean in a bottle. This rum boasts a rich history, dating back to the 1860s, and has recently been revived to tantalise taste buds once more.

A Journey Through Flavour: Unveiling Langs Banana Rum

Langs Banana Rum is a symphony of tropical fruit flavours, with ripe banana taking centre stage. The base of the rum is crafted from a blend of pot and column distilled Jamaican rums, aged in ex-bourbon casks. This foundation provides a smooth, mellow character that perfectly complements the vibrant banana infusion.

On the Nose:

The first impression is an explosion of ripe banana – sweet, creamy, and undeniably inviting. Hints of caramel and toffee weave through the aroma, adding a touch of complexity. Subtle whispers of vanilla and warm spices, reminiscent of cinnamon and nutmeg, round out the bouquet.

On the Palate:

The initial sip delivers a burst of juicy banana flavour, true to the enticing aroma. The rum base shines through, offering a gentle warmth and a touch of the signature Jamaican "funk" – those earthy and slightly funky notes that rum aficionados adore. The sweetness is balanced, avoiding any cloying sensation. Hints of brown sugar and subtle oaky notes from the cask aging add further depth to the flavour profile.

The Finish:

The finish is clean and lingers pleasantly, leaving behind a delightful aftertaste of banana and warm spices. The rum's inherent smoothness ensures a lasting impression that is both satisfying and refreshing.
