It carries a bold, robust style that reflects the classic character of Bajan rum, which is naturally drier and less sweet than many other Caribbean varieties.

It is first aged in ex-American whiskey casks and then finished for about six months in deeply toasted and charred ex-bourbon barrels, which gives it its signature character and intense complexity.
