Boilermaker Drinks is a Scottish company, founded by the Edinburgh cocktail impresarios behind Bramble , Lucky Liquor Company & The Last Word along with one of the co-founders of Vino Wines . Seeing the gin market saturated and with only one other Scottish rum on the market they took the bold choice of producing a Scottish white rum.This is a tricky proposition, unlike a spiced rum a white rum has to be drinkable on its own terms, work in a range of cocktails and be relatively affordable.Working with Ogilvy Spirits in Angus, the producers of a very drinkable potato vodka they've come up with SeaWolf. Taking its name from the Native American term for killer whales, pods of which are seen along Britain's coast they've produced a beautiful bottle which avoids the usual cliches of palm trees, white beaches and pirates (the beaches of Angus being a bit more likely to induce hypothermia).Given the North of Scotland lacks the tropical climate that makes the ageing process so fast for Caribbean rums Boilermaker have produced an unaged 100% pot still rum.Counteracting the lack of ageing a mixture of rum and champagne yeasts have been used in a 4 week, low temperature fermentation to produce a flavoursome wash. Coupling that with a pot still makes a spirit that's rich and deep in flavour.On the nose the rum has a funky, banana-y note with some light toffee. The lack of ageing gives it a certain agricole/cachaca note that's subtle but interesting.There's a creamy mouthfeel with a general fruitiness and a peppery spice, on the finish there's some burn coupled with a dry spiciness. For an unaged rum this slips down very easily, the 41% ABV gives it a more substantial body than other white rums.The test of a white rum is the daiquiri , a simple cocktail that highlights the rum base. For me my favoured recipe is a classic Difford's 10:3:2 on the rocks. The SeaWolf has enough funk to stand up to the lime, leaving a spiciness that balances out with the sweetness to make a very, very drinkable cocktail.At £29.99 for a 50cl bottle that's part of a limited run of 300 bottles it represents good value and an interesting first step in a planned portfolio of spirits that I look forward to sampling.
