Rum Nation Jamaica 5 Year Pot Still Rum
Product Description
The hallmark release is matured in the Caribbean and then refined for roughly 15–18 months in second‑fill Oloroso sherry casks, with a small percentage of Pedro Ximénez barrels to add raisin and cocoa depth over the funky, camphor‑tinged Jamaican core.
Tasting Notes
-
Aroma: Deep, balsamic notes with camphor, brown sugar, and the classic overripe banana/ester “funk.”
-
Palate: Chocolate, sultanas, molasses, grilled pineapple, clove, and black pepper over a dry‑leaning, oily texture.
-
Finish: Warm, lively, medium‑long with dried fruit, oak spice, and a touch of winey sweetness from the sherry influence.
