Deadhead Dark Chocolate is a single-blended 5-year-old Mexican rum infused with locally sourced organic cacao, bottled at 70 proof (35% ABV) in a sculpted monkey-head bottle.
Inspired by ancient recipes used by Mayan and Aztec emperors, this rich, full-bodied rum is infused with decadently dark, slow-roasted cacao. The rum is made from estate-grown sugar cane juice and molasses and aged in American oak and Chiapas oak, and the delicate infusion process enhances its natural qualities, allowing chocolate and rum to exist in perfect balance. Deadhead was founded in 2010 and celebrates the history less studied with its one-of-a-kind sculpted bottles.
The nose carries the essence of coffee and butterscotch, with dark chocolate restrained but solidly present in the bouquet. Decadent dark chocolate comes to the forefront on the first sip, layered with back notes of Bing cherry and cream soda.
The sculpted head bottle makes it an unforgettable gift.
Aged rum is one of the most diverse spirits in the world, shaped by the sugarcane, the still and the warm climates where it matures, which speed up the interaction between spirit and wood.
