Big Black Dick

A hearty double entendre in a bottle.

Now, before you say anything, Big Black Dick refers to Richard (Dick) Le Noir (Black), an African boy prince captured by French slavers, tossed overboard and left for dead.

He managed to swim ashore in the Caribbean, got captured by other slavers, and ended up working in the cane fields. There he learnt how to turn sugar into fine Rum, got himself freed, became a pirate, and marauded the endless seas until he died of natural causes. Allegedly.

Despite the over the top cartoonish presentation, this Rum is pretty awesome. Its on-the-nose aroma and flavors bring out the raunchy beast of a pirate, alluring with dark caramel notes and sweet molasses.

Big Black Dick Rum is made in the Cayman Islands from a secret recipe. The makers also claim the Rum has aphrodisiac qualities, but we don't know if that claim is tested.

BBD isn't a spiced Rum, but a flavored kind; this bottle being coconut flavored. If you're a fan of coconuts, this might be your favorite next drink, but if you're not, be aware.
