- Description
- Tamosi's Wiwakalaymay celebrates Lokono-Arawak heritage through a Jamaican Long Pond rum distilled in 2006 and matured 14 years in heavily-charred bourbon before three additional European years, bottled at 68.1% ABV. The extended maturation in aggressive charred oak has built substantial vanilla, caramel and oak spice character, while the high proof preserves pot-still funk and maritime Jamaica character. Rich, full-bodied and complex, this cask-strength rum rewards sipping neat or with minimal water for those interested in Caribbean rum tradition and indigenous storytelling.
