Cut Smoked Rum, 70 cl

A rich, smoky rum from Cut Rum, infused with Arabica coffee, smoked with burnt wood chips and rested in oak barrels. Aromas of earthy coffee, cocoa nibs, oak spice, vanilla and pipe tobacco fill the nose. The palate offers notes of brown sugar, leather, charred wood and matchstick smoke that linger in the finish. The majority of Cut's rum that we use for cut rum comes from the worthy park estate in Jamaica. Its right in the middle of the island between Kingston and Ocho Rios - they have been making quality rum since 1720 and they are very good at it. The distillery is 366 metres above sea level and the estate stretches over 10,000 acres and they are one of only 5 estates still farming sugar cane and distilling rum since the last big drought that saw many others go under. All of their rum is produced in copper pot stills created by the award winning forsyths still makers in Scotland. The still is made like a traditional Jamaican Alambic which gives 'body and soul' to the rum and all of the ageing is done in ex american bourbon barrels. The worthy park estate have won countless awards for their rums over the years and won best distillery in 2016 so it was an obvious choice who to work with when creating cut rum Brown sugar, charred wood, matchstick smoke
