Tasting Notes:

Colour: A brilliant honeyed bronze colour with a subtle green ring of ageing.

Aroma: Spicy fruit and oak, followed by hints of honey, vanilla, holiday spice, and our signature orange peel note.

Finish: Exceptionally smooth, balanced with a hint of molasses and warm oak.

Process: Crafted by Joy Spence, with Jamaican limestone-filtered water and no added flavours.

"Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of ripe banana and pineapple, roasted walnut, strawberry watermelon gastrique, and charred coconut with a round, dryish medium body and a long finish that shows notes of bananas and roasted walnut, grilled pineapple, strawberry watermelon, and mejoola date. Complex layers of fruit flavors with some subtle earthy funk make up this benchmark, consumer friendly Jamaican Rum." - Tastings (93 Points)

"Tropical fruits including mangoes and overripe bananas lead on the nose, along with a bit of pot still funk and burnt caramel. The palate shows fiery cinnamon, leather, and tobacco, along with brown sugar and toffee, before getting drier towards the back with cedar wood. The finish is short, offering molasses and Jamaican allspice." - Jake Emen, Distiller (84 Points)
