Appearance:
This rum shines with a honeyed bronze hue, its golden tones delicately rimmed with a faint green tinge—a hallmark of well-aged Jamaican rums.

Nose:
The aroma unfolds like the opening of a well-loved spice cabinet. Expect an enticing medley of spicy dried fruits, accented with warm honey, toasted oak, and a teasing whisper of nutmeg and clove. It’s a vibrant nose that invites a long, indulgent sniff.

Palate:
Prepare for a flavor journey that begins with rich, velvety vanilla and zesty orange peel, evoking memories of festive baking. As the flavors bloom, hints of holiday spices—think cinnamon and allspice—dance with a bright, citrusy liveliness. The pot-still rum’s heavier, fruit-forward notes balance beautifully with the column-still’s smooth, clean finish.

Finish:
The finish is silky and warming, leaving a delicate aftertaste of vanilla, oak, and a slight earthy funk—a reminder of its tropical Jamaican roots. It lingers just long enough to make you reach for another sip.

Fun Fact:
Each drop of this rum is a testament to Jamaican terroir, with all the sugarcane, water, and yeast sourced locally. The rum’s aging process in the hot, humid climate of Jamaica speeds up interaction with the barrels, giving it the complexity of a spirit aged far longer in cooler climates.
