Description

Burla Negra Rum (70cl / 40%) embodies the swashbuckling spirit of Galician pirates, crafted by Galician Original Drinks from sun-ripened sugarcane juices. Masterfully distilled and aged in ex-Albariño white wine casks from Spain’s Rías Baixas, it incorporates a daring twist: pure Atlantic seawater harvested from Galicia’s rugged coast, echoing the days when rum barrels served as ship ballast. This infusion lends a briny salinity that elevates its profile, free of additives for authentic purity. The nose seduces with maritime intrigue—salted caramel, ripe papaya, zesty ginger, fresh mint, and vibrant lime peel, underpinned by subtle vanilla and oak whispers. On the palate, a velvety embrace unfolds: lush tropical fruits, caramelised banana, dried apricots, toasted coconut, and gentle cinnamon spice, balanced by crisp minerality and white pepper kick. The finish lingers long and rewarding—salty caramel trails into oak dryness, fresh herbs, and faint smoky embers. Housed in a sleek, dark bottle evoking buried treasure, this Caribbean-style rum shines neat over ice, in Daiquiris, or with seafood, captivating adventurous palates.
