This rum is the ITP mark, which is light pot and comes in at 90-120 Esters gr/hLAA. This was aged for 13 years with some amount of tropical ageing then bottled at cask strength.

One of the best “low” (for Jamaica) ester rums I have had. The fruits are very powerful in this thing as are the spices that help to balance them out. Strong tart flavors along with the spices make for a very balanced and enjoyable Jamaican rum. Impex has bottled a few on these long ponds now they have been quite good from what I have been able to try.
