Category: Overproof Rum

Date Tasted:
Country: Jamaica
Alcohol: 57.6%
Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of honey dew, pineapple cream, vanilla bean, and palm hearts with a round, dryish medium body and a very long finish with overtones of grilled pineapple upside down cake, pralines and banana bread, sweet peppers, and black tea and salumi. Intensely, exquisitely full of flavor; if you like old and funky on George Clinton levels, this is the Rum you are looking for.
