Description
Brewdog Five Hundred Cuts Botanical Rum
Taking inspiration from Elizabeth Blackwell (affectionately known as Lizzie at Brewdog), who was an 18th Century artist known for creating a comprehensive herbal text on plants. This included illustrations as well as descriptions. The plant engravings (or "cuts") numbered 500, and were reknowned as being exceptionally accurate.
Starting the process, Brewdog take White rum, which is made from sugar cane molasses and is fermented with red wine yeast for seven days. This is is double-pot distilled releasing notes of tropical fruit and burnt sugar.
They then re-distil the base rum with the botanicals (orange peel, lavender, schezuan peppercorns and cardamom) gently over four hours. Cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, tonka bean, ginger, and allspice are steeped in the spirit for 14 hours to release their flavours. The two spirits are blended and finished off with a touch of muscovado sugar.
Through this dedicated process, Brewdog have created a drink which is full of spice and zest, and definitely a fitting testiment to the pain-staking work of Lizzie!

Perfect Serve
Full of spice, this works perfectly with a mixer of cola, and we love the cinnamon notes that Fentimans Curiosity Cola brings to this drink. With lots of ice in a tall glass, pour over 50ml of the rum and add 150 - 200ml of the cola. Garnish with a slice of lime to make a refreshingly spicy rum and cola!
