Product description
A blend of Jamaican pot‑still rums associated with Wedderburn and Plummer styles, showcasing ripe tropical fruit, spice, and robust congeners; non‑chill‑filtered to preserve mouthfeel and aromatic intensity. The high bottling strength heightens perceived ester complexity and allows effortless dilution without losing character.
Tasting notes
-
Aroma: Caramelized banana, canned pineapple, ripe mango, clove, cinnamon, black pepper, and molasses.
-
Palate: Explosive tropical fruit, brown sugar, cocoa hints, tobacco accents, and vibrant baking spice over a muscular, oily texture.
-
Finish: Long, warming, with lingering esters, oak spice, and dark‑sugar tones that stay vivid through dilution.
Available packaging sizes
700 ml is most common globally; 750 ml appears in select markets depending on importer formats.
ABV
57% ABV (often described as “navy/proof strength”), offering exceptional cocktail structure and intensity.
Style or type
Traditional Jamaican pot‑still rum (ester‑forward), blended for high‑impact mixing and assertive sipping with water or ice.
Company or producer
Marketed under the Smith & Cross mark with Jamaican distillates; blending and bottling follow a heritage‑style brief emphasizing potency and authenticity.

Jamaican pot‑still origins; the mark historically ties to London merchants who handled and matured Jamaica rum.
Awards
Widely regarded by bartenders as a benchmark high‑proof Jamaican for tiki and classics; formal medal listings vary by year but trade adoption is extensive.
Expression or variant
Flagship 57% release; no broad lower‑proof variants widely distributed under the same mark.
Cask or barrel type
Pot‑still components aged in oak (commonly ex‑bourbon) before blending; emphasis is on preserving vibrant congeners rather than heavy oak sweetness.
Still type
Traditional Jamaican pot stills for heavier congeners and ester expression; no column‑still dilution in the core profile.
Aged period
No age statement; blend typically incorporates young to a few‑years‑old components aimed at maximal aromatic punch rather than extended maturation.
