IWSC 2025 GOLD MEDAL
Our first exclusive release of NB Overproof Rum. Bottled at a bold 63% ABV, this unaged, unfiltered rum offers an intense and unique flavour profile. It’s our love letter to Jamaica, made from scratch in North Berwick. Awarded Gold in the 2025 International World Spirits Competition - one of the most prestigious awards in our trade, and we are incredibly proud to be recognised alongside some truly world-class rums.
IWSC Judges comments: "Delicate parma violet and bright tropical fruit greet the senses, leading to a palate that harmoniously combines peppery spice with intriguing vegetal notes. The finish lingers elegantly, revealing a complex tapestry of fruit and subtle aniseed, leaving a lasting impression".
TASTING NOTES
The Production: Our head distiller creates our rums from scratch, fermenting sugar cane molasses over an extended fermentation, 14+ days, with specially chosen yeast strains (Prometheus and "Banana Splitz" yeasts) and natural bacteria (for those in the 'know' - ripened dunder and muck). The rum is then distilled in our unique double-retort rum still, ensuring a depth of flavour that is unlike any other. Just pure, unrefined character at full strength, 63% abv.
The Nose: Sugar cane, peeled banana, tropical fruits
The Palate: Sugar cane, banana chips with hints of tropical mango and passion fruit and a touch of spice.
The Finish: Complex, robust and very flavoursome with a final rich lingering taste.
Try It: Neat or over ice. Use for a very decadent Nuclear Daquiri or serve with ice cold grapefruit soda. Or, anyway you please!
70cl. Proven at 63% ABV
