ABOUT
This one is a Last Word riff created by Chuck Taggart (@sazeracla). It swaps out gin for Jamaican rum, bringing funk while keeping that equal parts balance intact. It reminds me of the Slurred Word, another Jamaican rum riff on the Last Word, though that one brings in pineapple juice and breaks from the equal parts build. Cheers y’all!
