Last Light ‘Cask Strength 100% Pot Still Rum’ 56%

The 100% Pot Still Rum doesn’t make it to the column still. Instead it undergoes a second distillation in the pot, which in itself is quite an inefficient distillation process, allowing for more of the heavier alcohols that would normally not survive column distillation to remain in the new make rum. These heavier alcohols create a more full bodied and flavourful Last Light rum drinking experience.

An enticing nose rich with the smells of Mum’s baking. Carrot cake, maple syrup, orange spice bound with walnut and pecan. The nose carries a dusty mahogany depth that brings to mind a wood paneled reading room with shelves of leather bound books. On the palate the rum is thick and viscous where lashings of sweet brown sugar wrestle with pencil shavings before the oak bursts through. The oak then settles and leaves lingering wisps of ginger, raisin and Xmas spices.
