What is Rum-Bar Gold Jamaica Pot Still Rum?

Rum-Bar Gold Jamaica Pot Still Rum captures the essence of traditional Jamaican rum-making, offering a bold and flavorful expression that's both approachable and complex. This rum is distilled using a combination of molasses and sugar cane juice, a unique approach that marries the rich depth of molasses-based rums with the grassy, vibrant notes typically found in rhum agricole. Interestingly, Rum-Bar Gold is produced by Worthy Park Estate, one of Jamaica's oldest sugar estates, which has been in continuous operation since 1670 and remains family-owned after more than 350 years. This remarkable longevity makes it not just a producer of fine rum, but a living piece of Caribbean history.

Why do we love Rum-Bar Gold Jamaica Pot Still Rum?

Rum-Bar Gold Jamaica Pot Still Rum stands out for its vibrant, unapologetically Jamaican character, crafted using a traditional pot still method that captures the essence of the island's rum-making heritage. This golden elixir balances rich tropical fruit notes with a subtle oakiness, offering cocktail enthusiasts a versatile spirit that shines in classic tiki drinks and adds depth to modern creations alike.

How do you drink Rum-Bar Gold Jamaica Pot Still Rum?

Rum-Bar Gold Jamaica Pot Still Rum shines when sipped neat or with a single ice cube, allowing its rich, funky flavors to take center stage. This versatile spirit also excels in classic rum cocktails, particularly those with citrus or tropical fruit components, and pairs wonderfully with spicy Caribbean dishes or smoky barbecue on warm summer evenings.

Nose: Warm caramel and brown sugar aromas mingle with tropical fruit notes of ripe banana and pineapple. A subtle hint of vanilla and oak adds depth, while a touch of spice reminds you of its Jamaican roots.

Palate: Rich and full-bodied, with flavors of toffee and dark chocolate leading the way. The tropical fruits from the nose reappear, joined by a pleasant nuttiness reminiscent of toasted almonds. A subtle smokiness and warm baking spices add complexity.

Finish: Long and satisfying, with lingering notes of oak and dried fruit. The sweetness gradually fades, leaving behind a gentle warmth and a slight tannic dryness that invites another sip. A whisper of funky Jamaican rum character appears at the very end.

Rum-Bar Gold Jamaica Pot Still Rum is crafted using a traditional pot still distillation method, which retains more of the rum's natural flavors and aromas compared to column still production. What makes this process particularly intriguing is that the distillery uses dunder - the leftover yeast and organic matter from previous fermentations - to kickstart new batches, creating a unique flavor profile that's distinctly Jamaican.

  • Rum-Bar Gold is distilled using a 200-year-old copper pot still, one of the oldest continuously operating stills in the Caribbean. This ancient equipment imparts unique flavors that can't be replicated by modern column stills.
  • Unlike many rums that use molasses, Rum-Bar Gold is made from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice, a method more common in rhum agricole production. This gives it a distinctive grassy, vegetal note that sets it apart from typical Jamaican rums.
  • The rum's signature golden hue comes naturally from aging in once-used bourbon barrels, without any added coloring. These barrels are stored in Jamaica's hot, humid climate, which accelerates the aging process and creates a richly flavored rum in just 4 years.
  • Main Ingredient: Sugarcane
    Country of Origin: Jamaica

      Good Jamaican Rum

      Seems a bit more mellow than the Hamilton Potstill Gold, which I believe comes from the same distillery but is unaged. I don't know if this is aged, but that would make sense if it does have a bit of age vs. the Hamilton.
