-53%Crack this open and you'll get why it's a talking point. Wild Tiger is India's first spiced rum, and it does not taste like the sweet, caramel-bomb spiced rums you know. Think zesty tangerine, a big hit of cardamom, black pepper and forest honey. More spicy than sweet, smooth enough to sip, bold enough to carry a cola. Oh, and 10% of the profits go to tiger conservation, so the round you pour tonight does a little good.
The nose pulls you in first: zesty tangerine and that warm, perfumed cardamom, with a fresh earthy edge like rain on dry ground. The sip is full-bodied and properly spiced. Black pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger roll across your tongue, with forest honey keeping it rounded rather than sugary. There's a soft vanilla-and-amber warmth from the American oak underneath. The finish is long, gently fiery and, true to its word, more spicy than sweet.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Wild Tiger is made in Kerala, in the south of India, blended and bottled on the banks of the Bharathapuzha river. It's a molasses rum with a touch of cane-juice spirit in the blend, matured in charred American oak from Kentucky, then infused with real spices before bottling. The brand was built by Gautom Menon around one mission: saving wild tigers. A slice of every bottle goes back to conservation through the Wild Tiger Foundation. Good rum with a good reason behind it.
