Doctor Bird Pot Still

A 4.5 on my scale. A very strong smell of molasses when opened. Flavor strong when straight. Mixed is like coke and molasses. Not great, but not as bad as it sounds.

Interesting stuff with notes of banana, tropical fruit, chocolate, herbs, pepper, and a nice funkiness. Made at Worthy Park.

This Detroit produced rum is made from several Jamaican rums. The label states it is distilled in St. Catherine, Which suggest it is distilled in the Monymusk or Worthy Park distilleries. It is pot stilled and aged in oak for six years before being shipped to Detroit and placed into Moscatel sherry cask. The color is very light. Thge nose is everything you would expect from a Jamaican pot still rum. It has that distinct funkiness of burnt plastic, banana, mango and spice. Its fragrant and refreshing. This is a 100 proof rum, and you can taste that initial alcohol burn that obscure some of the lovely flavors that reach you after the burn has passed. If you are not accustomed to the Jamaican funk you may be turn off a bit at first, but then keep reaching for the glass to renew the experience. A splash of water help to soften the initial burn, but not to much, less you drown out that unique flavor.

Big Jam funk, big 50% ABV great price!! This is for the true rum lovers out there. It’s a gift at this price.

A weak seven. I would say this rum needs to be used as a mixer. Only recommendable as a sipper if you truly love rum. It's very very funky but a little too harsh to sip. Still, the funk is delicious and would spice up any cocktail wonderfully.
