Tasting Notes

Limited to 2 bottles per member

Either madness or brilliance - it is remarkable how often those two traits coincide. Aromas of glue and pine sap, pineapple dipped in white gloss paint, fruity funky earthiness – let us walk the plank and take a sip! An insane hit of flavour and power, like being pounded by a barrage of hot shots (cannonball that are heated before firing) from all three decks fired by a Man-of-War! The burning timbers we tried to douse with saltwater as the fragrant wood smoke engulfed the whole ship, yet we managed to get away. After five years in an ex-bourbon barrel, we transferred this rum into a refill bourbon cask which previously matured peaty whisky from Speyside.
