Probitas (Foursquare/Hampden) White Blended Rum (750ml)

The legendary Probitas (Veritas in every other country) is finally upon us! This "extremely exciting" (a direct quote from K&L's spirit buyer) is a collaboration between the excellent Foursquare distillery in Barbados and the wonderful Hampden Estate in Trelawny Parish, Jamaica, where they are "rewriting the rules for rum." It begins with a base of molasses-based rum distilled expertly by Richard Seale on his famous Coffey still. These are mingled with two rare rums from Jamaica's most authentic distillery, are two "low-ester" rums from the OWH marque (Owen W Hussey). One, an unaged pot-stilled rum, and the other the same rested in the tropical climate for two years. The resulting blend is completely devoid of any additives, save water, but is filled to the brim with explosive flavors and unprecedented depth. The finest white rum on the market by any measure, and an affordable luxury that all rum nerds, cocktailians, and serious drinkers should seek out. Unsullied by sophistic dosage indeed!
