Two James Doctor Bird Pineapple Rum

Two James Doctor Bird Pineapple Rum shines in tropical tiki cocktails, but it's equally delightful sipped neat or over ice on a warm summer evening, allowing its complex flavors of grilled pineapple and Jamaican funk to unfold; pair it with spicy Caribbean cuisine or grilled fruits for a perfect complement to its bold, fruity profile.

Nose: Intense tropical fruit aromas dominate, led by grilled pineapple and ripe banana. Underlying notes of vanilla, caramel, and a hint of funky Jamaican rum esters add complexity. Subtle spice notes of cinnamon and clove emerge as the rum opens up.

Palate: Bold flavors of caramelized pineapple and brown sugar hit the tongue first. The high-proof warmth carries notes of overripe banana, ginger, and a touch of cumin. A pleasant rum funk lingers in the background, reminiscent of fermented fruit. The mouthfeel is rich and oily, coating the palate thoroughly.

Finish: Long and warming, with the pineapple notes evolving into a more candied character. Hints of baking spices and toasted coconut emerge. The finish tapers off with a slight tannic dryness and a lingering warmth, leaving a pleasant memory of tropical fruit and Jamaican rum complexity.

Two James Doctor Bird Pineapple Rum is crafted by blending high-ester Jamaican pot-still rums and finishing them in Moscatel barrique casks with grilled pineapples, eschewing artificial flavors or added sugar for a natural, intense flavor profile.

• Unlike most flavored rums, Two James Doctor Bird Pineapple Rum doesn't use any artificial flavors or added sugar. Instead, they macerate real grilled pineapples directly in their high-ester Jamaican rum, creating a natural, intense tropical flavor that's both authentic and complex.
• The base spirit for this rum is aged in Moscatel wine barrels, an unusual choice that imparts subtle notes of stone fruit and honey, perfectly complementing the grilled pineapple flavors and adding an extra layer of sophistication to cocktails.
• At a robust 114 proof (57% ABV), this navy strength rum is one of the highest proof pineapple rums on the market. This high alcohol content allows the rum to maintain its bold flavors even when mixed, making it a bartender's secret weapon for crafting exceptionally flavorful tropical cocktails.
