Jack Ratt Lugger Rum 5cl Miniature 40%

Bottling note:

Jack Ratt Spiced Rum is produced by the fine folks at Lyme Bay Winery in Devon, made with Caribbean rum aged in bourbon barrels and spiced with nutmeg, orange peel, clove and vanilla. The name comes from Jack Rattenbury, a notorious smuggler in the West Country, and the type of fishing boat he would use to smuggle his contraband.

Although the recipe includes vanilla, it's intentionally in a supporting role here as the producers wished to avoid it "overpowering" the other flavours (as perhaps it does in some other spiced rums...).

Honey and caramel, with underlying banana-y esters. Slightly oily at points, with slowly growing spice notes at the core.
