Taking a look inside the cocktail book Left Coast Libations, in the chapter about the city of San Francisco, I found an interesting recipe of the bartender Yanni Kehagiaras called The Bitter End. Automatically, I needed to do it…but I wanted to make a twist on the rums…the recipe calls for a Flor de Caña Aged White 4 years rum, and I used the Rum Nation Jamaica White Pot Still. Also, I changed the Angostura Bitters for a Jerry Thomas Own Decanter Bitters and the Velvet Falernum for Homemade Falernum. I doubled the amount of juices in the recipe.

Looks good! Also, I like how you explain the delta between the original and yours.
What’s a good sub for the rum, since we don’t have it here in the US?
Well…the more similar rum is Wray&Nephew White Overproof.
Both have similar flavor profile but I think Rum Nation is more sippable than Wray…Wary is 63% and Rum Nation is 57%…but I think you can sub it without problems.
But if you have the chance…try the Rum Nation!!! 😉
Yea it`s like a light JWray in some way…the flavor profile but much less pronounced. Another rum that is like that is RumFire but that one is overproof. Also a very good rum!
Also i think this one is more 3 dimensional than JWray which i think is two dimensional…
That said, i really like the JWray! i like them all 🙂
