Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Powerful aromas of coconut and candied lemon greet you, followed by medicinal notes reminiscent of a first-aid kit. There's a hint of eucalyptus, like walking through a grove of gum trees. The overall effect is full-bodied and intense.

Palate: The initial sip is lively and intense. Bitter orange peel dominates, like biting into marmalade. Spicy ginger adds warmth and complexity. Herbal notes emerge, similar to a freshly brewed cup of medicinal tea.

Finish: Long-lasting and intricate. Pine resin lingers on the tongue, accompanied by the spicy licorice flavor of star anise. A subtle smokiness appears at the end, like the remnants of a campfire. The complexity continues to unfold well after the last sip.

This Jamaican rum is pot-distilled from fermented molasses and aged for 4 years in Jamaica's tropical climate, followed by an additional year of maturation in Europe's milder conditions, resulting in a unique flavor profile that combines intense tropical aging with a touch of continental refinement.

This rum spends its first 4 years aging in Jamaica's tropical climate, then finishes with a year in Europe's cooler conditions - a "transcontinental" journey that adds complexity to its flavor profile.

At 57% ABV, it's bottled at the exact strength historically used by the British Royal Navy for their daily rum rations, allowing sailors to accidentally spill it on gunpowder without compromising its ignition.

The distillery that produced this rum is located in Lluidas Vale, a lush Jamaican valley once home to a 17th-century pirate haven, adding a touch of swashbuckling history to every sip.
