Coronation Khukri Rum
When you think of rum you probably imagine pirates swashbuckling for barrels on the beaches of the Caribbean. Well half a world away in Nepal, Coronation Khukri Rum ($44) has made a name for itself not only for its finely sculpted dagger bottle but also for the great taste inside. This dark, mahogany looking rich rum is a product of Nepal Distilleries Limited and since 1959 they’ve been perfecting this complex and slightly sweet rum. Best served neat, the nuances of its taste and the its smoky aroma blend perfectly in any glass. And if you ever run into a Ghurka solider, you’ll find out exactly where the inspiration for the bottle came from.
