Tasting Notes
- Nose: Banana comes through clearly at first, lifted by mellow toffee and soft vanilla. Behind it sits toasted oak, adding warmth and a touch of spice.
- Palate: Banana leads again, supported by rich oak character that gives structure and depth. Notes of toffee and vanilla weave through, keeping it rounded but never cloying.
- Finish: Banana and oak linger together, with gentle spice and vanilla carrying on the tail. Long, warming and moreish.
Process
This Exotic Banana Rum begins with raw sugar cane molasses, fermented for 4 to 7 days using proprietary yeast strains to build a foundation of rich, tropical flavours. Distilled using both traditional double retort pot stills and an 8-plate column still, the team artfully blend four distinct distillates to craft a bold, vibrant spirit.
Flash-aged for 24 hours with a combination of heavily charred French and American oak chips, this unique process adds layers of caramelised banana, vanilla, tropical fruit, and coconut notes. They then blend the rum with fresh banana essence, creating a lush, exotic spirit that captures the essence of sun-drenched islands.
The result is a smooth, flavourful rum with tropical warmth and a clean, crisp finish - perfect for sipping neat or adding a burst of tropical flavour to cocktails.
Crafted by the Head Distiller, our Exotic Banana Rum is where Caribbean inspiration meets modern innovation.
