It is the first rum consisting of aged pot still rum from Jamaica and a rare component of strongly aromatic Rhum Grande Arome from the French island of Martinique, giving the brand the distinction of being the first historically accurate Mai Tai rum sold commercially. The rums used in the blend have been slow fermented using the finest slow working yeasts, which extend the fermentation time up to two weeks, allowing the high ester flavor compounds to fully develop. They are then aged 8 years in small 200 liter once-used American oak bourbon barrels yielding an unparalleled level of smoothness to rival the world\u2019s best sipping rums. The distilleries where the Jamaican portion of the blend has been sourced are Worthy Park Estates, Hampden Estates, Clarendon, and New Yarmouth. The Rhum Grande Arome is produced at the Le Galion distillery in Martinique. This is the only high ester molasses -based distillate produced in Martinique and according to rum cocktail historians, was the Martinique component of the rum blend Trader Vic Bergeron used in the 3rd iteration of his 1944 Mai Tai recipe. Merchant\u2019s Reserve both transforms the traditional rum cocktail and provides a pleasing complexity that can be enjoyed neat. ” description_list=”<\/p>\n
