• Distillation process: Traditional copper pot still distillation following authentic Jamaican methods, preserving the rich esters and congeners that define Jamaica’s distinctive rum character
• Maturation: Aged in ex-bourbon American white oak barrels in Jamaica’s tropical climate, allowing for accelerated maturation and intensified flavor development
• Special techniques: Employs the traditional “dunder” fermentation process, using remnants from previous distillations to create complex flavor compounds and the signature Jamaican “funk”

Tasting Notes
