- Description
- Matthew Brown was a Lancashire brewery and rum blender that created this 12 Year Old blend in 1977 to commemorate the Queen's Silver Jubilee, bottled at 100 proof. A weighty marriage of rums from Guyana and Jamaica, it delivers the richness and complexity expected from premium Caribbean blends of that era. The higher alcohol content has preserved the spirit's character across decades in glass. Seek this out if you collect significant rum releases or want a genuine artefact of 1970s British rum culture.
