Cockspur Fine Rum, 70cl

Product Information

Cockspur 12 does a really nice job of capturing the intense flavor of a barrel while still managing to obtain some kind of balance. This beautiful, dark-golden rum is characterized by its sweet, silky, smooth flavor that leaves a wonderful oak taste on the palate. Solid oak leaps out of the glass as the prevailing aroma, joined by caramel, strong cinnamon, clove, and pecan.

As with Cockspur’s Fine Rum, the Cockspur 12 should really appeal to whiskey drinkers, especially those who really enjoy tasting their barrel (like with Devil’s Cut). Platinum is a bit pepperly at first before some great vanilla and papaya sweetness comes through in the finish.This revolutionary process produced a flavourful, dry, crisp, and “clean” COCKSPUR Rum that many have come to know and love. He improved the rum-making process and mastered the complexities of the fermentation and distillation processes. Regardless of how old Cockspur 12 rum is, the time it has spent in a barrel is exceptionally apparent on the nose.

In the midpalate the oak barrel starts to shine though with some nuttiness, dusty oak, and a little earthiness. If you're new to rum then we definitely recommend trying a flavoured rum like Cockspur's Pineapple Rum. Cockspur has managed to find the real sweet spot for their overproofed spirit with a lot of flavor, some good strength, and yet extremely drinkable. COCKSPUR Old Gold is an impeccable blend, made using a generous helping of pure, light-bodied rum and a hint of full-bodied pot still rum. Beyond ice, Cockspur Fine Rum is really best suited for mixing; while it does okay with some of the classic citrus-forward rum drinks, its acidic quality can make it difficult to balance out.This is an important distinction in the rum world, where 12 may not always mean 12 years (it could just as easily mean 12 different blends of rum, or the 12th expression of rum, or just that they like the number 12).

Freshly squeezed lime and cola, a zombie cocktail for sure but in its simplest form over ice is where the flavours hit hardest. The midpalate maintains many of the same flavors from the entry but it brings on a much stronger pepper spice along with some heat.Facebook sets this cookie to show relevant advertisements to users by tracking user behaviour across the web, on sites that have Facebook pixel or Facebook social plugin.
