Saint Lucia Pot Still 5 Year Old Rum 93 proof 2008 - distilled by Saint Lucia Distillers Ltd. - Saint Lucia

Saint Lucia Pot Still 5 Year Old Rum 93 proof 2008

Aged 5 years in casks #474-6-08, 423-6-08, 885-11-07 and 872-11-07 at Saint Lucia Distillers Ltd. then shipped to the US where the contents of these barrels were blended and diluted for bottling. The aroma of this full-flavored, pot still rum explodes when the bottle is opened. Hints of pear, green apple and papaya in the initial taste give way to a spicy blend of cinnamon, tropical fruit and smoky oak. The finish is long, as you would expect in a 100% pot still rum, with baking spice tones on top of a slightly smoky foundation.

There were 123 cases of Saint Lucia Pot Still 5 Year Old Rum 93 proof 2008 bottled. Hi res image
