Berry Bros. & Rudd Classic Range, Guatemala Rum (40.5%)

With a long history of exporting sugar cane, Guatemala is renowned for producing some of the world's most celebrated rums. This spirit offers an intriguingly restrained nose, with notes of baklava, crepe bandage and marginally undercooked arrowroot biscuits, with maybe a hint of curry leaf. The palate is dominated by sugar cane, although pleasingly dry on a finish where any wood is beautifully smothered in cane honey. Mojitos all round, please.
