Review #1261; Rum #568

This is a molasses based rum from Jamaica that was distilled on a Pot Still. It aged for one year in Jamaica in Ex-Bourbon, then a further 8 years in Europe in Ex-Bourbon before it was bottled at cask strength with no additives. It was distilled in Lluidas Vale in the Saint Catherine Parish in Jamaica.
