This Rum was distilled in 2005 in an unnamed distillery. It is pure “pot still” rum in the old, classic Jamaican style - a “blend” of “wedderburn” and “plummer”. Therefore this rum is lighter than our previous Jamaican bottlings, but very fruity and with a lot of spicyness.

Nose: Warm winter spices (cinnamon), typical bourbon cask with coconut, vanilla and bananas (fresh and dried) The taste delivers what has been promised: Warm and spicy (cinnamon, vanilla, clove...), ripe bananas, very dry, some almonds, hints of apples. Long and dry finish: Full of the same spices again, some dried fruits.
