Review:
Full-bodied like the rum that so influences herbal-influenced this late-night tipple.
History:
Adapted from a recipe created by Jason E. Clapham at the St. Edward's MCR at Oxford, England, who says, "Named thus because Jerry Thomas combines brandy and Jamaica rum 2:1 in a number of his famous punches; created with rums like Plantation Xaymaca or Berry Bros. Jamaica Rum in mind."
