Holmes Cay Jamaica Wedderburn 2011 edition, a medium ester, 100% pot still rum, was distilled in 2011 at the Clarendon Distillery, Jamaica. It was tropically aged for 3 years in Jamaica in ex-bourbon casks, with 7 years further aging in the UK. It was bottled in 2021 in New York State. No sugar, no color, and no other flavors were added in the making of this rum. Bottled at cask strength, or 59% alcohol by volume.
A nose of young pineapple and drying oak opens into rich, overripe tropical fruit on the tongue. Black pepper and baking spices lead to a substantial finish of leather and tobacco leaf.
