This is big funk well aged, which is certainly a rarity, especially at cask strength and matured entirely in the tropics, which lends a fantastic concentration of flavor and richness. Ripe pineapple and classic, sweaty rum hogo sits alongside raisin, anise, nutmeg, pepper, and a light rubbery industrial note that brings to mind the wonderful pot still rums of St. Lucia as well as Trinidad's late, great Caroni Distillery, but all with a brightness of character more akin to Jamaica.
