Langs Banana Flavoured Rum, 70cl

Product Information

I guess I probably sound like a bit of a snob but it is worrying how increasingly common it is for people to proclaim themselves as “Rum”, “Gin” or even (god bless them) “Vodka” drinkers yet they drink Spiced Rum, Strawberry Flavoured Gin and Lychee and Dragonberry Vodka. It’s a farce really and entirely of each categories own making. So let us instead take a look at the present day Langs Banana Jamaican Rum and see what its all about.

Langs Banana Jamaican Rum. It’s been a while since we’ve reviewed anything Spiced or Flavoured. Whilst I tend not to buy much Spiced/Flavoured, unless I fancy it will be very popular for a review, I do still find the odd sample or two of Spiced/Flavoured rum comes my way.

Langs Banana Jamaican Rum smells of Banana Toffo’s that have been dipped in sugar syrup, mixed with Candy Floss and those Fake Foam Bananas and then sprinkled with icing sugar. Our rum benefits from the best of both countries; the finest rum from Jamaica infused with natural banana flavour in Scotland. Since we’re all enjoying some late summer sun, it really is the perfect opportunity to enjoy liquid sunshine in a bottle.” The very fact that this “rum” has produced two further variants in such a short space of time tells you all you need to know about the average “rum” drinker here in the UK. Basically a lot of more casual “rum” drinkers in the UK don’t actually know what rum tastes like. Partly because they just drink shit like this and think it’s “rum”. It’s tragic really. This is the type of garbage overly excited teenagers tell me “I’ve got to try” and at Rum Festivals.I usually just smile politely and thank them for their advice……. This fresh, disruptive addition to the rum category couldn’t have come at a better time, and we’re confident our customers will be just as excited about this release as we are.”The pineapple-flavoured bottling is said to have hints of coconut, caramel and lime, and a nose of pineapple, coconut, and raisin ice cream. The palate delivers pineapple, caramel and cinnamon, followed by a finish of fruits and spiced oak. It is suggested to be consumed neat, over ice, or mixed with cranberry juice. In September this year, Ian Macleod Distillers revived Jamaican rum brand Langs with the launch of a banana-flavoured expression in the UK. The brand’s first line extensions, Langs Mango and Ginger Rum and Langs Pineapple Rum, are both bottled at 37.5% ABV.
