Review: Brinley Gold Shipwreck Mango Rum

by Jeff Ellingson

brinley mango - CopyBrinley Gold Shipwreck Mango rum is one of five rums made in St. Kitts.  At 69 square miles St. Kitts is the smallest Country in the Western Hemisphere.  Brinley rum was created when after 20 years Bob Brinley closed his medical supply business and the Brinley’s were looking for a way to stay on the island of St. Kitts.  They set a mission of creating the smoothest natural flavored rums.  They began selling their molasses based column distilled rum in 2002.  In 2012 they rebranded the line to include the Shipwreck name to honor the recent discovery of a British ship sunk off the coast of St. Kitts, by the French during the battle of Frigate Bay in 1787.  Brinley rum is aged in bourbon oak barrels for four years.  Natural Brazilian mango is blended before bottling at 72 proof.The aroma is mango, pineapple, and rum.  The feel in my mouth is thick and syrupy.  The flavor is sugar sweetened mango and peach with a hint of orange.  There is a mild mouth warming with a lightly peppered mango and rum finish.  At 72 proof I expected more flavor and sweetness than a 42 proof mango flavored rum to offset the higher alcohol content, and Brinley delivered.  While sugar sweetened the mango and peach flavors come across very natural and after several sips my mouth adjusts to the sweetness.  BGS Mango is smooth enough to drink on the rocks but it may be too sweet for some.
