Leblon -Brazilian Rum

Well as usual I ventured after work right over to Manor House for their wine tasting and this time I was very surprised to see what they had. A Brazilian rum made from natural cane cachaca, it goes by the name of “Leblon” the ingredients are very basic and natural made from a fresh pressed cane juice-micro-distilled in a pot called a Alambique which they harvest at the Maison Leblon in Minas Gerias. It takes up to six months to produce such a vintage XO Cognac casks. Its taste can be described as such a lively, fruity nose with complex layers of flavor and an ultra- smooth finish.

There are a variety of ways to enjoy this “champagne of cane” like as a caipirinha, you can have it “neat”, with fruit juice or take it up a notch with any top shelf cocktail; this Brazilian twist is sure to set your taste buds on a lovely road of satisfaction.

In my opinion I enjoyed it very much. I would recommend it to those who like light flavored rum with a twist of pure cane additives.
