A unique nose. Shoe polish and rancid sweat. 😀😀Very round and balanced. Good drinking strength, continues in a similar vein. Long, tingling finish. Lime, rancid, walnuts, polish. Conclusion: you wear your underpants for 3 weeks, then take them to polish your John Lobb or Churchs and you boil that out. Sounds good, doesn't it? 😀😀😀😀 An exceptional rum with an exceptional year of distillation. Outstanding.

This rum is a piece of history from a well-known Jamaican distillery. Although there is no indication of the distillery on the label, this rum can be clearly identified after tasting it. It would probably be the best rum from this distillery of all time if it had an alcohol content of around 60% by volume. As it is, it gets 95 points from me due to its extraordinary taste.

No rum is more imitated than Jamaican rum. This is the home of funk, the fruity, overripe-banana intensity that drinkers call hogo, made in the biggest pot stills outside Irish whiskey. When the rest of the Caribbean moved to the column still, Jamaica kept the pot still as its house style, and that stubbornness is exactly why its rum is so prized today.
