Rich molasses and dark chocolate dominate, complemented by a symphony of spices that tingles the senses.

A gentle warmth persists, leaving a pleasant sensation that invites another sip, evoking memories of island breezes and sandy beaches.

The rums are tripple distilled, handcrafted and aged in oak casks. Jerry O'Connell is the creator of this rum and owner of Soggy Dollar Bar in Jost Van Dyke, British Virgin Islands, arguably the most legendary beach bar in the Caribbean.Spiced rum is just that: rum — usually gold or dark varieties — with spices added to it. The most common spices used are cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom and cloves, but some versions also use aniseed, nutmeg or pepper.
After five to six days in fermentation, the resulting “wash” is transferred to our 500-gal pot still, where the liquid is heated to separate the alcohols. The still converts the alcohols to vapor form and then returns it to liquid through a condenser.It includes both the light-bodied rums, typified by those of Cuba and Puerto Rico, and the heavier and fuller-flavoured rums of Jamaica. Rums originated in the West Indies and are first mentioned in records from Barbados in about 1650. They were called “kill-devil” or “rumbullion” and by 1667 were simply called rum.
