- Description
- This single-barrel blend of Jamaican pot still and Barbados column still rums, bottled by 1423 in October 2021 at 46% ABV, showcases the marriage of two distinct rum-making traditions. The nose opens with tropical fruit—papaya, banana, coconut—layered with peppercorn spice and oak, while the palate develops liquorice, candied pineapple, ginger, and clove with structured oak integration. The texture is rich and warming, with spice building to a long, flavourful finish. A bottle for rum enthusiasts who appreciate complexity and the interplay between the pot still's funk and the column still's refinement.
