At King Cask, we are always on the lookout for great "Malternatives." One thing that always appeals to us is Jamaican rum. Its funky character comes from a fermentation process that produces a high ester content, and it boasts a full body thanks to "partly" tropical aging. We got our hands on a beautiful cask of 9-year-old Jamaican rum distilled in the heart of Lluidas Vale, which we split into three different sherry octaves to give it a unique King Cask twist.
Collect them all to experience the distinct influences of the three different sherry finishes: Amontillado, Oloroso, and Pedro Ximénez.
Distilled in August 2014, this rum underwent 5 years of tropical aging in Jamaica, followed by approximately 4 years of maturation in the Netherlands in a first-fill bourbon cask. Whereafter a finish of 7 months in a sherry octave on the beautiful island of Terschelling. Finally, it was bottled at 10 years of age in September 2024.
