Jung & Wulff No. 1 Trinidad Rum
by Sazerac
$38.50
In the 1800s, Caribbean rums made from native sugarcane in Trinidad, Guyana and Barbados were shipped in casks to the Port of New Orleans to quench the thirst of the growing American spirits market. Jung & Wulff were early importers of rum, distributing it to cafés and bars across New Orleans and beyond.
This bottling comes from Trinidad Distillers Limited, AKA Angostura, and is made on their column stills. The entry taste gives an impression of moderate age and medium-level oakiness. Mid palate the flavor turns deeply spicy. Its circular evolution throughout hits highlights of fruit, spice, vegetation and earthiness, all at the optimum moments so that the final impression is of seamless quality. Bottled at 43% abv.
