Smith & Cross Traditional Jamaica Rum 57% ABV 0.7l

Smith & Cross Traditional Jamaica Rum, at 57% ABV and in a 0.7-litre bottle, embodies the distinctive flavour and aromatic elegance that made Jamaican rum famous in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This high-proof rum contains exclusively pot-still distillates in the traditional Wedderburn and Plummer styles, which are renowned for their powerful character and complex aromas. The blend consists of roughly equal parts Wedderburn, which is aged for at least one year, and Plummer, which is matured for between 18 months and three years in white oak casks. This blend of distillates creates a perfect balance between fruity and spicy notes, perfectly reflecting the Jamaican style.

Thanks to the high-quality distillation and the special ageing process, Smith & Cross Rum does not require lengthy ageing, as oak barrel ageing tends to overpower the fruity and spicy flavours. This ensures that the intense fruitiness and complex spiciness are preserved without being overly influenced by the wood. At 57% ABV, this rum offers a powerful and unique flavour that delivers an exceptional taste experience both neat and as an ingredient in cocktails.
