Royal Jamaican Blackstrap Molasses Dark Rum (75cl, 45%)

A full-bodied Jamaican dark rum from the Monymusk distillery in Spanish Town, St. Catherine, one of the oldest rum plantations on the island. It is built on locally sourced third-boil blackstrap molasses, the heaviest and most mineral-rich press of the cane, and is blended in small batches with each bottle drawn and bottled by hand. It pours a deep amber and is robust enough for cocktails such as a Dark 'n Stormy or Rum Punch, while also being suitable neat or over ice. It is a separate no-age-statement expression, distinct from Royal Jamaican's age-stated 8 and 12 Year rums. The aroma shows deep caramel and molasses with hints of spice; the palate is toffee, caramel and vanilla, rich, full-bodied and silky smooth with a spicy finish; the finish is warm, spiced and lingering.
