Embark on a bold journey into the heart of Jamaican rum with The Elixir Trails - The Rum Trail Jamaica 2013, a characterful single-origin release carefully selected by Elixir Distillers. Distilled in Jamaica in 2013 and bottled at a robust 48% ABV, this rum showcases the unmistakable intensity and aromatic richness for which Jamaica is world-renowned.

Origin & Background

Produced from molasses derived from Jamaican sugar cane, this rum was distilled using traditional Jamaican methods, known for creating high-ester, flavour-driven spirits. After tropical ageing in Jamaica, the rum underwent further maturation in ex-Bourbon casks in Scotland. This dual maturation enhances complexity, marrying vibrant Jamaican funk with refined oak influence and balance.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Expressive and aromatic, with ripe banana, pineapple, and tropical fruit esters, complemented by notes of vanilla, molasses, citrus peel, and subtle oak spice.
• Palate: Full-bodied and intense, delivering layers of overripe fruit, brown sugar, warm spices, and a distinctive funky edge, balanced by creamy vanilla and gentle wood tones.
• Finish: Long and warming, with lingering esters, soft oak, hints of caramel, and a pleasantly dry, spicy conclusion.
