History and production of Black Jamaica Rum XO:

Jamaica is inseparably linked to rum. This goes so far that even teetotalers have a bottle of the aromatic molasses distillate in the house - as a medicine to rub on for colds and general malaise. It is therefore not surprising that Jamaica is considered the country with the highest bar density in the world.

But the intense, full-bodied rums with the strong ester aromas are appreciated not only on the Caribbean island itself, but worldwide.

One of them is Black Jamaica Rum XO, which is distilled from molasses, a highly viscous, sweet by-product of sugar production. Subsequent storage for many years in oak barrels ensures a dark color, intense barrel aromas and rounds off the taste. The hot, humid climate of Jamaica accelerates and intensifies the maturation process.

The Black Jamaica Rum XO is a blend of various individual rums, each of which has its own special aroma. By mixing these different rums, the master blender can create a unique taste that would never be possible in its complexity and fullness with a single cask bottling. However, it is of crucial importance to create a harmonious, balanced aroma and taste profile. This is only possible through many years of experience, talent and a good rum base.

The Black Jamaica Rum XO impressively demonstrates the skills of the master blender with its combination of fruitiness, sweetness, herbal notes and spiciness.
