Portrait: What makes the Jamaica HD 12 year old 2012/2024 Transcontinental Rum Line #70 special

What the rum world unite? Their diversity. With the Transcontinental Rum Line (TCRL), La Maison & Velier reflects the great diversity of sugar cane spirits. Selected overseas rums are initially stored in oak Casks in their country of origin - at tropical temperatures for quick, intensive maturation and strong aromas. After being shipped to the French bottler, some of the rums mature in a continental climate. This gives them additional complexity. All rums in the line are bottled without additives and not cold-filtered.
 
While TCRL follows a regular schedule, Single Casks are exception stops on the line. The Jamaica HD 2012/2024 is one of the bottler's exclusive single Casks - and was selected exclusively for the German market.
With the bottling limited to just 223 bottles, a celebrated traditional distillery shows its strong and individual side. The Pure Single Rum was distilled in 2012 from fermented molasses in double retort pot stills. In Jamaica's famous Trelawny region it matured for three years under tropical conditions in the Bourbon Cask #HD12BT05. The Cask then spent another nine years on the European continent and can now boast a powerful 55.9% vol. and an ester content of 197 g/hlpa unfold uninhibitedly.
