"It’s a triple distilled pure pot stills HLCF rum which gives an ester level of 500-600. The finish is rather long and tastes about the same as on the palate. I think it’s the best of the three big white Overproof’s from Jamaica, it’s funky, potent, complex and powerful without being too pungent."

"A real Jamaican funky load of overripe fruit, bananas, pineapple, etc. In the body, the pear with citrus is the most filling. Molasses and liquorice play a major role in the rather bitter finish. If I had to call something a slasher, it would be Rum Fire😃."

"A rum that shows the full potential of an unaged Jamaican rum. The Jamaican funk oscillates between exotic fruits, floral aromas and phenolic notes, with a touch of iodine. On the palate, the rum is slightly spicier and saltier, while keeping the typical funky frame. There are also notes of pear and brine. The finish extends the taste experience with metallic and dry notes. A powerful and aromatic rum that would be wonderful in a supercharged cocktail."
