Pipa Rum de Goa is a premium spiced rum crafted by Nao Spirits, combining Portuguese and Goan influences. Distilled from jaggery spirit, it is aged in ruby port casks from Portugal and infused with black pepper, cinnamon and clove, the three spices that first drew Portuguese explorers to the region. It is sold at ₹3,000 for a 500 ml bottle in Goa (approximately $36 USD).
Upon tasting, Pipa Rum delivers a robust and warm palate experience. The flavor is densely packed with festive notes, mirroring the complexity and richness of a Christmas cake. Prominent among these are the indulgent echoes of rum raisin ice cream, which blend seamlessly with the spicy undertones of clove and ginger.
