Smith & Cross Traditional Jamaican Rum is a bold, pot-still Jamaican rum bottled at navy strength (57% ABV) that shines with an intense “hogo” (funky) character.  On the nose it delivers over-ripe banana, pineapple, molasses, and exotic fruits with a sharp solvent-like edge; the palate follows with tobacco, clove, rubbery ester funk, and intense tropical fruit, all wrapped in a long spicy finish.  It’s a powerhouse rum—fantastic for tiki or bold cocktails where you want serious flavor punch, though its strength and funk mean it may be more challenging for casual sipping.
