Smith & Cross Traditional Jamaica Rum (75cl, 57%)

Smith & Cross Traditional Jamaica Rum is a Jamaican rum bottled at 57% ABV, described as true navy strength. It is blended only from Wedderburn and Plummer pot-still distillates, with no added sugar and no chill filtration. Smith & Cross began as a sugar refinery by the London Docks in 1788 and became one of the great handlers of Jamaica rum. The modern bottling honours that trade with the two heavy pot-still styles, bottled at the strength the British Royal Navy once demanded. Per the importer, the rum shows caramelised banana, exotic tropical fruit and spice over an earthy finish, the high-ester pot-still signature that made Jamaican rum famous.
