Project 173 Chocolate Rum 50cl 42%

If you fancy introducing the deliciousness of chocolate to your cocktails and mixed drinks, but don't quite fancy sticking a chocolate bar in your glass (or something like that), the Project #173 range has you covered with its Chocolate Rum! It features a base of good quality rum, and it's naturally flavoured with tasty chocolate, resulting in a rich, subtly sweet flavour profile. We reckon this should be great for putting a tasty twist on some classic rum cocktails. The bottle itself is also very zazzy, even featuring a piece of 23 karat gold leaf!

Tasting notes:

Nose: Mocha, chocolate-coated peanuts and dates, with a hint of cinnamon.

Palate: Enjoyably dark chocolate bitterness, softened by honey, red apple and lemongrass.

Finish: Lasting chocolatey richness on the finish.

Overall: The chocolate notes here aren't overpoweringly sweet, though they're certainly not shy either.
