Review: Hue-Hue Coffee Rum

Hue-Hue Coffee Rum was released February 2018.  It is pronounced Way-Way.  The white rum base is made from molasses and is distilled in the Caribbean.  It is shipped to Eastside Distilling in Portland Oregon.  Cold brew free-trade , single origin Arabica coffee beans grown at Finca El Paternal Estate in HueHuetenango Guatemala are sourced and lightly roasted through Portland Roasting Company.  The beans are slowly brewed in a stainless steel vat and stirred slowly with a paddle before steeping for 48 hours.  The concentrated brew is then blended with the premium silver rum and demerara sugar.  Only 4 grams of demerara sugar is used to produce a 750 ml bottle of Hue-Hue.      Read more »
