Rum Nation, Jamaica, 5 Years Old, Oloroso Sherry Finish (50%, 70cl)
Rum Nation, Jamaica, 5 Years Old, Oloroso Sherry Finish (50%, 70cl)
Pot still rum from St. Catherine, Jamaica was matured in the carribean and then refined for 15-18 months in second fill Oloroso barrels, plus a small percentage of Pedro Ximenez casks.
A nice marriage of the brash vitality and intensely funky aromas of young Jamaican rum, with the winey, fruity and juicier complexity of sherry aging.
From the one who brought you Wilson & Morgan, Fabio Rossi, a whiskey broker who had focused on importing whiskey for many years.
Tasting a few old rums which were sent to Scotland to mature, this sparked an idea that took a few years, but finally in 1999 became Rum Nation. Collection of independent bottlings of single domain rums, using a post stamp to showcase the origin. Bringing rums that are unforgettable and unique to the spirit world.
