The bottler, Whiksy Krueger, is known for curating and bottling high-quality, limited-edition spirits that highlight unique characteristics and deep histories of the distilleries they work with.
Proudly labeled as a Caribbean gem, this rum's high proof of 63.8% ABV showcases its bold and complex profile. Aged under continental climate conditions, the spirit has developed a distinct and refined character over the years.
