Queens Quay

Ingredienser

I recently attended a tasting hosted by @djrobinjames and @appletonestate at @chubbysjamaican, and they had us drop coffee beans into our Glencairns. The oils infused so beautifully into the rum I knew I had to make a habit of it.

For this build, I used Appleton 8 for its wonderfully high esters, with @eldoradorums’ Port Mourant adding depth, tannic structure, and those gorgeous dark fruits. The higher ABV from the Port Mourant, paired with a high-quality Canadian maple syrup, lets me dilute the drink without losing even a hint of flavour.

The oils from the coffee beans also mellow out the heat, leaving you with a remarkably smooth - and dangerously easy sipper.

Drink: Queens Quay

1 ½ oz Appleton 8 Year

½ El Dorado Port Mourant

1 scant barspoon Dark Maple Syrup (I got mine at @tamarack_farms)

10 Coffee Beans (Dark Roast)
