In stock

<p>This award-winning pot still rum from St. Catherine, Jamaica, was matured in the Caribbean and then refined for 15 to 18 months in second fill Oloroso barrels, plus a small percentage of Pedro Ximenez casks.&nbsp;</p><p>The skillful blending of casks marries the brash vitality and intensely funky aromas of young Jamaican rum, with the winey, fruity and juicier complexity of sherry aging.&nbsp;</p><p>A multifaceted and robust rum, full of power but also subtlety.</p><h3><strong>Tasting notes</strong></h3><p><strong>Appearance:</strong> Dark gold, with apricot nuances.</p><p><strong>Nose:</strong> Deep, balsamic, with notes of camphor and the typical estery Jamaican “funk”. Cane sugar, some fermented and winey notes.</p><p><strong>Palate:</strong> Identical to the nose, but also with notes of wood resin, pine needles, black pepper, and a hint of flour. There is a background sweetness, but the overall impression is dry and spicy. Raisins, old wood.</p><p><strong>Finish:&nbsp;</strong>Hot, peppery, lively. The “funky” Jamaican note lingers on the tongue for a long time.</p><p><strong>Comment: </strong>A robust Jamaican rum, very aromatic and spicy, but made gentler and rounder by the winey and raisiny influence of the sherry casks.</p>
