Brinley Gold Flavored Rums

Sunday May 10, 2009
There are rums and there are flavored rums. While this market is not as huge as the vodka infusions, it is growing and there are a few companies going after the finer side of infused rum. Yes, you can get Bacardi in almost any flavor imaginable, but it is those like Brinley Gold Rum that do a far better job with a handful of flavors. So far Brinley has 6 flavors: coconut, coffee, lime, mango and vanilla.

Overall, this portfolio is great. The freshness of a natural spirit is there, backed by a sweet gold rum, which makes it unique to most other rum infusions which use a white base. The taste is clean and clear and the flavors are well-balanced. They are all ideal for adding a more tropical flare to many of the great rum cocktails and I can see how there can be a lot of fun had with creating new cocktails. Favorites of this rum are the coffee, lime and vanilla - all three of which are fantastic on their own. I thoroughly enjoyed have the mini sampler pack, which allowed me to explore in small amounts each of Brinley Gold's potential and find out which of the 6 I wanted to take to another tasting level.
