Things are getting a little spicy behind the bar this week 🌶️🥃
This week’s Rum of the Week is Nusa Caña Spiced, bringing a little Indonesian heat to the party. (if you couldn't already tell...)
Nusa Caña is a Balinese rum that takes inspiration from Indonesia’s long rum-making history and the legendary Spice Islands, with this one bringing together pineapple, ginger, coffee, cacao, nutmeg and clove. Sweet, spicy, and funky all in one.
Rum fans may also be interested to learn that Indonesia's take on rum making differs a little from standard Caribbean rums. Often referred to as Batavia Arrack, this style of rum is created with Indonesian sugar cane molasses and wild yeast grown on red rice.
In the case of Nusa Caña, it's then distilled in antique Chinese pot stills and matured in Javanese teak casks before blending.
Come get acquainted with Nusa Caña at Jungle Bird, and follow along for more Rum of the Week. Just remember: things are known to get friendly around here... 👀
