This 23-year-old rum from an unnamed distillery in breathtaking Trelawny in Jamaica, known for its flavourful pot still heavy rums, was distilled in 2000, before being transferred to Europe where it was filled, and spent the entirety of its maturation in a new French Oak cask.
Finding a stand-out rum from this distillery has been a personal mission for a while. Like the best of surprises, this particular rum was suggested to us as we were winding down our search for the holiday season. “One last sample,” we thought and this brought a sparkle to our eye and surpassed every expectation, leaving us elated at the idea of being able to bottle this as part of our first release. The character of this rum shows you that patience does pay off, and affirmed our determination to continue our search to bring rums like this to your shelf as well.
The label is designed by Toronto-born, LA-based illustrator / production designer Patrick O’Keefe, whose recent works include the animated Spider-Man films, Into the Spider-Verse and Across the Spider-Verse.
This single barrel rum is non-chill filtered with no additives, yielding 402 bottles at a cask strength of 54.8% ABV.
