Langs Banana Flavoured Rum, 70cl

Product Information

The very fact that this “rum” has produced two further variants in such a short space of time tells you all you need to know about the average “rum” drinker here in the UK. Basically a lot of more casual “rum” drinkers in the UK don’t actually know what rum tastes like. Partly because they just drink shit like this and think it’s “rum”. It’s tragic really. This is the type of garbage overly excited teenagers tell me “I’ve got to try” and at Rum Festivals.I usually just smile politely and thank them for their advice……. Langs Banana Jamaican Rum. It’s been a while since we’ve reviewed anything Spiced or Flavoured. Whilst I tend not to buy much Spiced/Flavoured, unless I fancy it will be very popular for a review, I do still find the odd sample or two of Spiced/Flavoured rum comes my way.

You get entered into our latest competition! This is a good thing too because Langs Rum from Jamaica has put together quite the prize. Let’s take a look: The Lang Brothers brand joined Ian Macleod Distillers’ portfolio in 2003 as part of the firm’s acquisition of Highland whisky distillery Glengoyne from Macallan owner Edrington. According to Ian Macleod, Langs Rum was no longer being sold by Edrington by that point. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent molestie leo elit.

Ut sed leo in nisi elementum vestibulum ut sit amet sem. Aenean placerat mi elit, id bibendum quam mattis vel. Donec hendrerit dolor ante, ac pellentesque augue vestibulum eu. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Langs Mango and Ginger Rum is described as having notes of mango coulis, meringue and vanilla on the nose, while the palate brings mango, peach, lime and crystallised ginger. The rum is recommended served neat, over ice, or mixed with pineapple juice. THE PRIZE PROVIDER: The prize is being provided and will be shipped to the winner by Ian Macleod Distillers Limited.Quisque hendrerit imperdiet imperdiet. Nullam dignissim congue mi vitae gravida.

The banana variant is the first in a new range of flavoured rums from the Langs brand, which will be released in the coming months. Ian Macleod has planned a phased roll out for the brand in the UK on-trade. Langs Banana Jamaican Rum smells of Banana Toffo’s that have been dipped in sugar syrup, mixed with Candy Floss and those Fake Foam Bananas and then sprinkled with icing sugar. Basically the nose is sweet and synthetic. The nearest this rum has been to a banana is when the sugar cane used to produce it was growing the cane fields! Fake foam bananas and Banana Toffo’s. No trace of anything remotely rummy. This could be flavoured vodka and no-one would be any the wiser. Any trace of “Jamaican Rum” has gone for a Burton.Langs Banana Rum is the first flavoured rum in Ian Macleod’s portfolio, which includes King Robert II Dark Rum and White Rum, and Watson’s Demerara and Trawler dark rums.

I’ve got to say its entirely disappointing but not surprising to see a Jamaican Rum Brand introduced into the UK, that doesn’t even have a non-flavoured variant on offer.

The new rum combines natural ripe banana with toffee and offers tropical fruits and earthy notes on the nose. Our latest competition promises all kinds of rum-based fun… Yes, you could win a load of goodies from Jamaican brand Langs Rum. So what are you waiting for?

I tested this through my hydrometer to see how much of the “natural ripe banana with hints of toffee” was present in this bottling and found my hydrometer bobbing at around the 25% ABV mark. Suggesting that in this 37.5% ABV spirits there are around 40g/L of “additives”. Whilst this is no surprise in the Spiced/Flavoured rum world I had hoped for a much lower reading. Perhaps a sense of a more authentic product. Never mind.
