What is Roaming Road 12 Year Jamaica Rum?

This 12-year-old Jamaican rum, aged in a single ex-bourbon cask, offers a perfectly balanced medium ester profile with vivid tropical fruits and classic banana notes. Interestingly, the 128.2 proof (64.1% ABV) spirit is so potent that a single bottle contains roughly the same amount of alcohol as 2.5 bottles of standard 80-proof rum.

Why do we love Roaming Road 12 Year Jamaica Rum?

Roaming Road 12 Year Jamaica Rum stands out with its perfectly balanced medium ester profile, delivering a vivid symphony of rich tropical fruits and classic banana notes, all harmoniously integrated by 12 years of aging in a single ex-bourbon cask - a true testament to authentic Jamaican funk without any additives at a potent 128.2 proof.

How do you drink Roaming Road 12 Year Jamaica Rum?

This bold Jamaican rum shines brightest when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube to unlock its complex flavors, though it also makes a stellar base for tiki-style cocktails on balmy summer evenings; pair it with spicy jerk chicken or grilled pineapple for a truly tropical experience.

Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Rich tropical fruits leap from the glass - ripe bananas, pineapple, and mango. A distinctive Jamaican funk brings notes of overripe fruit and subtle diesel. Vanilla and caramel from the bourbon cask mingle with hints of coconut and toasted oak.

Palate: Full-bodied and intense. Banana bread and grilled pineapple lead, followed by dark molasses, clove, and black pepper. The high proof brings a pleasant warmth without overwhelming. Burnt sugar and tropical fruit esters create a complex, layered experience.

Finish: Long and evolving. The fruit notes fade to reveal dark chocolate, coffee beans, and a lingering funkiness. Oak tannins provide structure, while hints of vanilla and baking spices add depth. A subtle salinity appears at the very end, inviting another sip.

Roaming Road 12 Year Jamaica Rum is crafted using traditional pot still distillation methods, which contribute to its rich, funky character, before being aged for 12 years in a single ex-bourbon cask, allowing the rum to develop complex flavors while retaining its distinctive Jamaican profile.

This rum's unique flavor profile is a result of its "medium ester" marque, a Jamaican classification that balances fruity complexity with approachability. It's like the Goldilocks of Jamaican rums - not too funky, not too tame, but just right for both connoisseurs and curious newcomers.

Despite its robust 128.2 proof, Roaming Road 12 Year actually started its life at a much higher strength. During the 12-year aging process in Jamaica's tropical climate, nearly half of the original liquid evaporated as the "angel's share," leaving behind a concentrated elixir of flavors.

The ex-bourbon cask used to age this rum has a secret past life: it once held craft bourbon from a small Kentucky distillery that went out of business. This happy accident gave the rum unique vanilla and caramel notes you won't find in other Jamaican expressions.
