What would this concoction be?

Post by triggernum5 »

While playing around with flavoring I came across something really nice (IMO).. The distillate was destined to be a bastardized light rum fermented from 75% brown sugar, 25% white sugar, some brewer's inactive yeast (dunno if that helps, hinders, or does nothing), and some toasted Cheerios for a bit of essence, but mainly the vitamins.. And distilled it with mashed pommegranite seeds.. Comes off beautifully fruity/creamy tasting.. Instead of the typical rum flavor though, I went for microwave darkened corn syrup, cloves, peppercorn, and allspice.. Aged on very tired oak for 2 weeks so far.. I love drinking it, but I'm at a loss for what to call it.. The corn syrup adds virtually no sweetness, just complicates the flavour nicely..
First you get the sugar.. Then you get the power.. Then, you get the women...
