Smith & Cross Pot Still Jamaican rum
This Jamaican 100% pot still, high ester rum is one of the heaviest pot still rums available and is said to be reminiscent of 19th century Jamaican rum...

Used in a Rum Old Fashioned with minimal bitters to track evolution as it dilutes on ice. Initially it's spice heavy with that 57% ABV. Dilution over time allows tobacco notes to move forward with a hint of molasses gaining strength. Further time on ice shifts towards the expected cocktail result - rich spice and tobacco with that Jamaican "funk" of tropical fruit. This beautiful rum holds up even as the ice cube(s) give up the ghost and takes on an enjoyable caramel bourbon facade.
