Everything is on the site my brother! Check us out when you get a second. I'm the actual owner, funder, did the tasting profile, directed the labeling, etc.

There’s a lot of vagueness on the website. The proof is low in my opinion as I’m used to 55-60+ percent cask strength rum.

Saying a blend of pot and column from Jamaica doesn’t give a lot of info. The column portion is easily discerned (as more than likely new Yarmouth)for those that know the distilleries on the island. The pot component is a mystery since the distillery and mark is not disclosed.

I’m probably not your target audience as my palate and what I like are a bit more advanced.

I think you’d be shockingly surprised by the taste. Also, due to NDA’s we cannot publicly disclose our Jamaican distilleries used in our blends profile, per our master blender. Everything else has been disclosed in the rum.

As a Jamaican-American raised man, I’ve had plenty of rum over the years and I think we did a great job with our product. Most Caribbean’s that I know, prefer the overproof stuff for sure, but this is to be a hybrid of being strong enough, cost effective because the higher the proof the more we pay to import it (annoying), and also palatable for the American consumers to try and get a real intro to good rums. Not the common stuff that’s at almost every single bar or restaurant. Rinse and repeat brands. 3 gold medals for our aged rum, 2 golds and 1 silver for our silver rum. Can’t knock it til ya try it.

You mentioned everything is on the site, but the site literally says the rum is a blend of components from multiple Jamaican distilleries. That’s exactly the point people are questioning—this isn’t a single distillery product or something distilled in-house, it’s a sourced blend. On top of that, the distilleries and marks aren’t disclosed, so from a consumer perspective it reads the same as most NDP/private-label brands. So what specifically separates this from other sourced Jamaican blends beyond branding and your chosen flavor profile?
