It’s funny how much the world has changed.
Instead of physically going down to the shops & picking our whiskey off the shelves – it’s computer clicks & courier calls.
That’s why I got excited about Aldi’s Púca Whiskey .
Not in Athlone! c/oAldi
Alas there was no show in my local store!
Usually I’d turn the quest to find a bottle into a blockbuster of The Hunt For Red October proportions – RIP Sean Connery – but due to COVID restrictions – travel beyond 5km was out.
So on to Plan B.
Supermarket Rum.
Asda Superior White Rum c/othewhiskeynut
Purchased traveling South through the North during the heady days of summer when we were free to roam around the Emerald Isle.
A relatively plain & simple yet pleasing bottle.
A very attractive price – £11 – yet on tasting – superb!
This is everything I expect from a white rum.
Pleasing aromas of sweet funk on the nose.
A deliciously oily mouthfeel that coats the palate with sweet, heavy funky fruit.
All wrapped up with a characterful prickly peppery spice.
Tried it, Loved it! c/othewhiskeynut
The Púca may have alluded me – but Asda’s White Rum is seriously pukka !
