Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Molasses, brown sugar, and vanilla leap from the glass. Dried tropical fruits like banana and pineapple mingle with warm baking spices. A hint of oak and a subtle smokiness round out the aroma.

Palate: Rich and full-bodied. Dark caramel and toffee flavors dominate, balanced by notes of ripe mango and papaya. The high proof brings warmth and intensity, carrying flavors of nutmeg, cinnamon, and black pepper. A subtle earthiness reminiscent of tobacco leaf adds complexity.

Finish: Long and warming. The sweetness fades, giving way to lingering spices and a pleasant oakiness. Hints of coffee and dark chocolate emerge, along with a touch of sea salt. The heat from the high alcohol content persists, leaving a satisfying tingle on the palate.

Full strength Guyana rum at 154 proof and the Jamaican rum at 170 proof are blended together and slowly stirred for 48 hours before dilution to 151 proof with filtered well water at the Five & 20 Distillery in Westfield, NY..
