Lemon Hart Blackpool Spiced Rum

Lemon Hart Blackpool Spiced Rum is a spiced rum from Lemon Hart & Son, bottled at 43% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is a product of Guyana, and the label states that it is distilled, aged and blended in Guyana and names Demerara and Bourbon barrels among its marks. The producer describes Blackpool as a British-style, single estate distilled spiced rum in which the dried fruit, island spice and vanilla bean notes given by Bourbon barrel ageing are balanced with an all natural spiced infusion. It won the Chairman's Trophy at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge. Lemon Hart & Son traces its rum-making back to 1804 and suggests Blackpool over ice or mixed.

Palate: Exotic dried fruit and island spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and ginger) over warm vanilla, developing toffee, butterscotch, cocoa and butter rum.
