Owney’s Original USA-New York City Rum

Named for prohibition rum runner Owen(y) Madden, this craft white rum made by Bridget Firtle at Noble Experiment in Brooklyn, remains true to the cane with vegetal aromas of grass and a light touch of lemon-pepper. The palate begins with lemongrass, leading to a slightly bitter bright white pepper that balances the natural sweetness before a bit of mid-palate heat. Persistent warmth and pepper on the clean finish. Respectfully wild but not hot. Makes a fine dry daiquiri.
