LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

The ultimate party spirit. It doesn't aim for the complexity of a sipping rum; it aims for a reliable, spicy sweetness that has made it the indispensable backbone of simple highball mixing everywhere in the world.

The Library Note

Crafted in the humid, tropical climate of Jamaica / Caribbean, this rum benefits from an accelerated aging process that imparts deep wood notes and a characteristic sweetness. It is a tribute to the heritage of the cane fields.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Inviting aroma of vanilla, brown sugar, and dried fruit with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg.

THE PALATE

Smooth and sweet with dominant notes of vanilla and caramel, followed by a gentle warmth of spice and oak.

THE FINISH

Clean and short with a lingering sweet spice.
