This ImpEx Collection rum is a 14-year-old Jamaican single cask rum from Clarendon Distillery, distilled in 2007 and bottled at cask strength of 106.8 proof (53.4% ABV).
The ImpEx Collection is an independent bottler, and this release follows a dual-climate aging process: 13 years of intensive tropical aging in Jamaica, followed by one final year of continental maturation in San Jose, California.
Tropical aging in Jamaica's heat drives deep interaction between rum and oak, while the final year in a cooler climate lets the spirit settle and integrate, giving a rich, mature Jamaican rum with real intensity.
A single cask at full strength, it makes a collector's gift for rum enthusiasts.
Sip it neat, then add a few drops of water.
Aged rum is one of the most diverse spirits in the world, shaped by the sugarcane, the still and the warm climates where it matures, which speed up the interaction between spirit and wood.
Clarendon is one of Jamaica's historic distilleries, producing a wide range of rum styles in pot and column stills, and Jamaican rum is famous for its rich, fruity, high-ester character, often called hogo.
Independent bottlers select individual casks and release them at full strength, without added sugar or colouring, so each single cask shows exactly what time and the barrel have done to the rum.
