Probitas Blended White Rum (75cl, 47%)

A white rum at 47% ABV, a three-rum collaboration between Foursquare Distillery in Barbados and Hampden Estate in Jamaica, brought together by Richard Seale and Luca Gargano. Mostly unaged, with one two-year pot-still component, distilled in pot and column stills, non-chill-filtered, with no sugar, flavouring, colour or additives. It was the first direct inter-island collaboration in Caribbean rum history, and at 94 proof it is built for daiquiris that demand real rum character. The name means honesty, and the mission is no additives, just rum from two of the Caribbean's greatest distilleries, made entirely in the Caribbean. Creamy custard and vanilla with citrus and tropical fruit — banana, guava — over molasses, kola nut and marshmallow, on an oily, full-textured palate carrying Hampden's funky Jamaican fruit character through the finish.
