Hints of cinnamon and nutmeg weave through the allspice, creating a warm, inviting fragrance. Underlying these dominant spices, a subtle sweetness peeks through, hinting at the rum base that provides the foundation for this liqueur.

Hints of vanilla emerge from the rum base, adding a touch of creamy sweetness that complements the spice. The sweetness is carefully balanced, never overpowering the spice profile. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, with a pleasant viscosity that lingers on the finish.

A Lingering Warmth: The Finish of The Bitter Truth Pimento Dram

The finish of Pimento Dram is a delightful continuation of the spice journey. The warmth of allspice, cinnamon, and nutmeg gently fades, leaving a pleasant tingle on the tongue. The subtle vanilla sweetness lingers in the background, rounding out the experience.
