Satiwa Hemp Rum is produced by the Indian brand Satiwa at Naveen Distilleries in Margao, Goa. The 40%-ABV rum features hemp infusion along with the flavors of cardamom and tiramisu, per the brand. It retails for about $18 in Goa.
The rum has a thick texture, very sweet, with clear notes of cardamom and tiramisu. These flavors provide an interesting twist but feel a bit artificial... As an after-dinner liqueur, this rum has its place. However, its simplicity and slightly artificial taste could be a drawback for enthusiasts seeking depth and authenticity in their rum. It serves its purpose but doesn’t quite rise to the level of a refined sipping rum.
