Canerock Spiced Rum (70cl, 40%)

A Jamaican spiced rum blended from pot and column still rums, bottled at 40% ABV in a 700ml bottle. It draws rum from the Clarendon and Long Pond distilleries, combining distillates aged between five and ten years. A portion receives additional maturation in ex-Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. Rather than artificial flavourings, real whole spices including vanilla beans, ginger root and cassia bark are infused directly into the rum during ageing. The aroma opens with sweet vanilla and brown sugar, followed by warm cinnamon, nutmeg, maple and allspice, with a gentle dried-fruit undertone. The palate brings maple sugar, cocoa, hazelnut, caramel, toffee, baking spices, ripe banana, cherry and toasted coconut. The finish is medium-long and warming, with black pepper, ginger and cayenne fading into cinnamon and almond sweetness, with a final echo of dark dried fruit.
