That Boutique Y Rum Company Haiti Single Distillery 18 Years Batch 4 50cl 57,2%Vol

Description

Inspiration:
The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988) by Wes Craven. Starring Bill Pullman, Cathy Tyson.
The Serpent and the Rainbow is a horror film that draws on voodoo, and zombies – all of which stretch the imagination, but also sets the film against the political struggles which still echo on today.

Artwork:
The film poster has the “Don’t let them bury me! I’m not dead!” coffin scene and it still gives us the willies. Bill Pullman again – this Cinema release isn’t a Bill Pullman fan club. The evil Peytraud torments Dennis Alan with “When you wake up scream, Doctor Alan, scream all you want. There is no escape from the grave.” Chilling eh? Our label, designed by Grace J. Ward brings a happier scene, and a nod to the jail cell scene later. Kinda. Without the ‘being buried alive’ bit obviously.

Tasting Notes by Boutique-y Pete:
Nose: Lots of ripe pineapple, pear and banana, with creamy caramel.
Palate: More creamy caramel and crisp underripe pineapple. Gentle herbaceous notes.
Finish: Lovely oak-y grip with tart plum, green tea and peppery warmth.
