Named after the noted explorer Sir Joseph Banks, this intriguing rum is composed of five different rums from distilleries located on the islands of Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, Guyana, and Java (the largest Indonesian island). Each rum is aged between 3 and 12 years, filtered, and then expertly blended together with just a touch of Batavia Arrack. The result is a surprisingly rich, full-bodied spirit with bold vegetal and herbal notes on both the nose and palate. Complex flavors of ginger and black pepper appear on the dry, lingering finish. Experiment with Banks in your favorite tropical cocktail!

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 94 points (Mar 2012) Pristine clarity. Compelling aromas of wood sap, egg cream and spice delight the olfactory sense. Flavor profile is jam-packed with cinnamon, vanilla, molasses and prune tastes that ignite the taste buds. Creamy aftertaste. |
