Bounty Strong 151 is a traditional overproof rum from Saint Lucia Distillers, modeled on the cask rum generations of Saint Lucians have grown up with and bottled at 151 proof (75.5% ABV) in a one-liter bottle.
Bounty is the spirit of Saint Lucia, made by Saint Lucia Distillers in the island's Roseau Valley. Strong 151 honors a local tradition: islanders still bring recycled bottles to buy rum in bulk straight from the cask, then use it for homemade spiced rums and family recipes.
The blend starts with fresh column still rum at 93.5% ABV, proofed down with cask-strength, three-year-old aged column still rum at 65%. It is stored in discarded aged rum casks whose tannins have been exhausted, so the wood stays muted, yet a natural straw color and soft oaky overtones still find their way into the rum.
A remarkably smooth composition softens the initial punch of high-strength rum. Waves of toasted marshmallow, warm vanilla bean and prune pie lead to dry, savory yellow fruit, saffron, fresh cinnamon bark and burnt citrus, and a touch of honeysuckle sweetness carries through warm brown bread on the finish.
At 75.5% ABV, Bounty Strong 151 is a rum to measure and mix rather than sip neat. Float a small measure on a Mai Tai, a Zombie or a Jungle Bird, or use it to give a big bowl of Rum Punch real Caribbean backbone. It is a natural base for homemade spiced rum, infused with vanilla, cinnamon, orange peel and nutmeg, just as Saint Lucians do at home. A splash also brightens hot buttered rum and holiday eggnog. Always dilute it with juice, soda or ice, and keep it away from open flames. The generous one-liter bottle makes it a smart choice for tiki fans and home bartenders who mix big batches.
