Ching Shih Dark Spiced Rum – 70 cl

Ching Shih Dark Spiced rum drink is a premium Caribbean spirit with a rich amber-yellow color. Shows expressive notes of vanilla, cinnamon and toffee, which create a rich and pleasant aroma. The taste is dry, soft and smooth, with spicy notes. Bottled in France.

The story of Ching Shih Dark Spiced is rooted in the fascinating history of Ching Shih herself. Ching Shi was a legendary pirate active in the South China Sea in the 19th century. She was known for her exceptional leadership qualities and powerful fleet of hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of pirates. The Pirate Queen's legacy as one of the most successful has inspired the creation of Ching Shih Dark Spiced, which captures the essence of her strength and power.

The rum is aged in French and American oak and sherry casks. This aging gives the spirit added depth and complexity, allowing the flavors to develop and mature over time.

Gastronomic combinations: a unique combination of rum flavors, including ginger, Sichuan pepper and other herbal components, gives a unique touch to classic cocktail recipes. The combination of vanilla, cinnamon and other spices creates a rich aroma that improves the overall taste of culinary creations.

The drink is often consumed as Ching Cola, a refreshing cocktail that combines 30 ml of Dark Spiced and 120 ml of cola.

Serving temperature: 18-20°C

This is a dark rum (and a fairly dusky one at that. Aged up to eight years, it’s got some coffee, cinnamon, and cloves on the nose — along with some raisin notes. Quite savory on the tongue — those bitching about Exclusiva being too sweet can check this out — the coffee notes filter down to dusky charcoal, barrel char, some raisin, and a bit of dark chocolate. Sugar is almost an afterthought here. If you like your rum chewy and filtered through the dank haze of wood, this is your jam. For me though, it’s a bit one-note. 80 proof
