ABV: 54.5% ABOUT Skipper Rum is a small, independently-owned brand that has been in existence since 1930. Skipper's origins lie in a long tradition connecting the British Navy, Scotland and Demerara rum. Much of the original distilling expertise came from Scotland and indeed the whisky barrels, which came from Bourbon initially, were used for maturing Scotch and then sent to Guyana for rum. METHOD Skipper Rum is made from locally sourced sugar cane molasses, following the traditional methods of distilling and maturing of the Diamond distillery and is matured for three to four years in old whisky casks. TASTE & AROMA Notes of dark chocolate fudge, coffee, fig, black treacle, dates and preserved lemon. On the palate, intense flavours of dried apricots, tamarind, Seville orange and raisins. Skipper Overproof has a superb length and structure; a truly exceptional overproof rum, with no sense of heat or alcohol.
