Heads and tails in rum...

[Dathhu]

Just after everyone's opinion of what they like in their rum.

I know both can add a lot of complexity, but can also be harsh too.

From what I've run so far, the heads give some fruitiness, but also a bit more headache inducing. Different to the stuff into the hearts, which while tasty, can be a bit one note.

The tails gives the deep molasses flavour, but also that nasty aftertaste, so I'm kinda more inclined to push a little more heads than tails.


Still yet to try my rum with dunder addition, hoping it pushes the molasses up into the hearts, without the nasty flavours, at least that's what it seems like with the cuts of that batch.


A side note, for any Aussies out there, all the Bundy rums seems very headsy to me. A bit too much in fact. I get some nice aromas from them, but they feel somewhat artificial, hard to describe. The aroma is fruity, but it tastes fake and plastic like. I'm hoping to capture some of that smell, but nicer.
