Introduction

London Dock X.O. Jamaica P.X. Cask Finish Rum represents a masterful fusion of Jamaica’s historic rum-making traditions with sophisticated European finishing techniques. This exceptional spirit bridges two worlds of craftsmanship, creating a unique narrative in every bottle.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Premium sugar cane derivatives sourced from Jamaica’s fertile growing regions, known for their exceptional quality and character.
• Distillation process: Traditional pot still distillation at the renowned Worthy Park & Hampden distilleries, famous for their distinctive Jamaican “funk” and ester-rich profiles.
• Maturation: Initial aging in traditional oak barrels followed by a special finishing period in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks from Spain, which imparts additional complexity and sweet notes.
• Special techniques: The unique combination of two distinct Jamaican distillery styles (Worthy Park & Hampden) creates a more nuanced and layered base spirit before the PX cask finish.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich tropical fruits, caramelized banana, ripe mango, and distinctive Jamaican funk with hints of raisins, dried figs, and sweet sherry notes from the PX cask influence.
• Palate: Velvety texture with complex layers of dark molasses, orange peel, chocolate, tropical fruit esters, and spice, complemented by the rich vinous character of Pedro Ximénez sherry with notes of dates and walnut.
• Finish: Long and satisfying with lingering notes of dried fruits, oak spice, and a pleasant interplay between the funky Jamaican rum character and sweet sherry influence.

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: Room temperature (18-21°C) to fully appreciate the complexity of flavors.
• Glass recommendation: Tulip-shaped snifter glass or Glencairn glass to concentrate the rich aromas.
