Discarded Banana Peel Rum: A Sustainable Sipping Experience with Unexpected Delights

The General Wine is proud to offer Discarded Banana Peel Rum, an innovative spirit that champions sustainability and delivers a unique flavour profile. This rum isn’t just about deliciousness, it’s about reducing waste and transforming what’s often discarded into a delightful drink.

A Spirit Born from Resourcefulness

Discarded Banana Peel Rum starts its journey with Caribbean rum, matured in repurposed whisky casks. This base provides a foundation of rich, aged character. But the true twist comes with the addition of banana peels! Yes, you read that right. Banana peels, which are typically thrown away, are ingeniously transformed into an extract that infuses the rum. This not only minimises waste but also imparts a surprising depth of flavour.

Tasting Notes: A Tropical Escape in Every Sip

Pour yourself a glass of Discarded Banana Peel Rum and embark on a flavour adventure. The initial aroma is inviting, offering hints of caramelised banana, warm toffee, and a touch of spice. As you take a sip, the rum explodes on the palate with a delightful sweetness reminiscent of banoffee pie and sticky toffee pudding. The banana peel extract shines through, adding a subtle tropical fruitiness that mingles beautifully with the rich caramel and toffee notes.

Beneath the initial sweetness lies a surprising complexity. Deep, fruity flavours of milk chocolate raisins emerge, hinting at the rum’s Caribbean origins. A touch of ginger peeks through at the finish, leaving a pleasant warmth that lingers on the tongue.

Serving Suggestions: Embracing Versatility

Discarded Banana Peel Rum’s unique flavour profile makes it incredibly versatile. Here are some ways to enjoy it:

• Neat or on the Rocks: Savour the rum in its purest form. Pour a shot into a chilled glass and enjoy it neat to appreciate the full spectrum of flavours. For a touch of refreshment, serve it on the rocks the ice will help to open up the aroma and slightly dilute the sweetness.
• Discarded Banana Peel Daiquiri: This twist on the classic cocktail adds a delightful tropical twist. Combine 50ml Discarded Banana Peel Rum, 25ml fresh lime juice, and 12.5ml simple syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well and strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a lime wedge for a touch of elegance.
• Highball: For a lighter and more refreshing option, create a Discarded Banana Peel Rum Highball. Fill a tall glass with ice, add 50ml of rum, and top with your favourite ginger ale or soda water. Garnish with a lime wedge or a sprig of mint for a touch of visual appeal.
• Culinary Delights: Discarded Banana Peel Rum isn’t just for sipping! The unique flavour profile makes it a fantastic addition to desserts. Try drizzling it over vanilla ice cream, flambe bananas for a tropical twist, or use it to create a decadent rum glaze for cakes or pastries.
