But for those who are willing to weather its force and scalpel-like profile, it is one that reminds us what Jamaicans used to be like and what they aspire to now…and points the way to a re-emergence of a style that has for many years been hidden from view and is now getting the praise that always should have been its right.
This is a good rum – well made and constructed and has no pretences about being anything other than an old fashioned hard hitting Jamaican pot still. It might well go great with a bit Ting – jammin!
Smith & Cross is regarded as a go-to cocktailing rum, and I can absolutely see why. But with a little time to open up, it sips just fine on its own. If you can take the heat, that is.
