Khukri XXX

This is a unique spirit. It has the color and smell of rum with some sweetness, but it’s not smooth and becomes overpowered by pepper/spice. It’s also what I would call thin in mouthfeel, something very not rum-like. Can be fine as its own thing, but it won’t mix well and isn’t rum.

This is a truly unique and great rum. Rum is my primary liqueur of choice and, given an option, I rarely shy away from it. Though I typically gravitate too black/dark rums, I picked up this nice caramel while stuck in Nepal for a few weeks. It is smooth and is great alone, or with a splash of pineapple.

But... What makes this rum a true gem is the ability to drink it like a fish, bottle after bottle, day by day, and wake up every morning feeling like a million bucks. My college and I downed gallons of this unsung hero of drinks. It was hot, dirty, and miserable, but we didn't care - we had Khukri.

Found this rum hiding on the very, very bottom shelf of some unremarkable liquor store in the wrong part of town for $12.99 and decided to purchase it on a whim. Lucky I did - this is one tasty, full-bodied rum! On the nose there's lots of caramel, buttery oak, vanilla, and an unusual almost citrusy-floral note that is hard to place. Going in, there's a beautifully bold, oaky-sweet character that quickly gives way to a spicy, woody note, that doubles up in your mouth and elegantly morphs into a peppery, molasses-like, lingering end. Very unusual aromas of treacle, raisin, and rubber tire. Some may think this to be on the sweet side; I say it is 'bittersweet' with some real heat! Wish I could find more of this stuff - it was the last bottle they had.

Nepal....really? Snow, cold, Mt.Everest...rum...you have got to be kidding!
This is a rum that you would almost walk right past being that comparing rum from
Nepal to Barbados, or Jamaica, Puerto Rico Is like comparing apples to avocado.
It is a nice rum in that you get flavors that are not accustomed to most other rums that are available. Sweet spicy with heat from the pepper, ginger and nutmeg plus cinnamon rears its head nicely with dried fruit, oakiness to nutty flavor and tobacco.nice enjoyable rum.

I tried that during my trip to Nepal. You think...Nepal product rum? Yes, indeed. And they made good job. It's sweet, little of spices and definetly it's not easy to get in the rest of the world. Worth to try.
