Deadhead is presented in a well. Deadhead bottle (replica) or reduced in size head. No doubt very striking and has real shelf presence. The rum has been aged for 6 years in oak casks to produce golden rum with aromas of coffee, chocolate and rounded with spices. The palate is smooth with spice and caramel notes finish with more spice at the finish. Striking a lovely balance between dry and sweet flavours

TASTING NOTES Deadhead Rum is wealthy and dark, it’s saturated with the aromas of treacle, coffee, cola nut, chocolate, filbert, allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg, all of which carry through to the palate in conjunction with the flavors of leather, anise and caramel that every one play in stupendous balance. The finish, lingers and slowly fades with elegant flavor restatements. This is a superb sipping rum and Deadhead’s assertive aromatics and brilliant flavors make it an ideal choice to be used in classic or Tiki cocktails.
