Myrtle Bank 10 Year Single Cask Pot Still Jamaican Rum (750ml) (Previously $100)

As the rum world continues to emerge from the shadows of the tiki bar and step into the spotlight, new brands are popping up left and right. The trick is making sure you're getting the good stuff. Myrtle Bank is a new brand that has begun by bottling a tremendous cask of 10 year old Jamaican pot distillate that has been aging in the UK. The ex-bourbon barrel has imparted some gentle vanilla and coconut which sands the harsher edges off of a robust and flavorful high ester Jamaican rum. I'ts got some funky Jamaican fruit, a bit of leather, tons of spices ranging from herbal to sweet, and a subtle chocolately aftertaste. It's the perfect thing to take back into the dark corner of the tiki bar and mix yourself a drink.
