Transcontinental Rum Line 5 Years Old 2016 Jamaica Rum

Transcontinental Rum Line Jamaica 2016 is one of the most intriguing concepts in independent rum bottling — a single vintage expression aged across two continents, capturing what tropical and continental climates each uniquely contribute to the final spirit. A limited edition Jamaican premium rum distilled by pot still in 2016 from fermented molasses — aged four years in American oak barrels in Jamaica's punishing tropical climate, then transported to Europe for a final year of temperate maturation before being bottled in 2021 at 57.18% ABV with no added coloring or sugar. The result is a rum that sits in genuinely interesting territory. Wine Enthusiast awarded it 91 points, describing a burnished gold hue with a nutty aroma, banana and banana taffy on the palate, leading into a tingly, fiery finish tinged with nutmeg, lemon, and clove. Aromas of dried fruit, black pepper, tobacco, oak spice, soft smoke, chocolate, and cinnamon fill the nose, complemented by vanilla, sugar cane, orange, caramel, cream, and baking spices throughout the palate and lingering finish. Fans call it a less polished Hampden — funky, full-bodied, and seriously compelling. Buy Transcontinental Rum Line Jamaica 2016 online with fast shipping right to your door.
