Distiller Notes
The Funk is a high-ester rum from the WP Estate, not unlike the flavorful pot still rums once so popular among the British Royal Navy, full of bold tropical fruit notes and the notorious "hogo” (from "haute goût," meaning "piquant") that made the island's spirit so famous.
Try using this surprisingly versatile "seasoning" rum in small quantities to increase the depth and funk of any rum or fruit-based cocktails.
From pirate life on the open sea to Caribbean island paradises, perhaps no other spirit evokes such a romantic history as Rum. Made through fermentation and distillation of molasses or the fresh-pressed juice of sugar cane, Rums range from 20% to over 70% alcohol and come in a variety of tones from clear to dark. Highest quality Rums are generally produced in pot stills and aged in wood, while less expensive Clear or “White” Rums are produced in column stills and bottled without barrel aging. Naturally, Rums form the base of tropical cocktails like Daquiris and Mojitos.
