Way off on the guess in terms of age and country but close on the proof. This is some great stuff and a bottle I will look to stock in my bar in the future. This stuff is perfect for a relaxing Friday night drink, would go great in a cocktail, and packs a nice funky punch that lands near the Jamaican funk line but brings some different things to the mix.
