Probitas Blended Dark Rum
57% ABV (114 proof) | 750mL | Blended dark rum | Barbados + Jamaica — Probitas Blended Dark Rum (Green Label) is the dark expression of the acclaimed Caribbean blend created by Foursquare's master distiller Richard Seale: unaged double-retort pot still rum from Hampden Estate in Jamaica (the higher-ester LROK marque) married with unaged twin-column Coffey still rum and unaged plus 2-year double-retort pot still rums from Foursquare in Barbados. Bottled at a bold 114 proof with no added sugar and no neutral spirit — only color from caramel made by heating sugar at Foursquare. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Probitas — Latin for "honesty" — was built on transparency: exactly what is in the bottle is on the label. The dark expression takes the beloved white Probitas blend concept and turns it up: the same honest Caribbean distillate, bottled at full strength for cocktails that need backbone and sippers who want intensity. Distilled, matured, blended and bottled in the Caribbean, it is a collaboration between two of the great rum distilleries in the world.
Tasting notes
Expect high-ester Jamaican funk — tropical fruit, overripe banana, pineapple — layered over Foursquare's polished pot-and-column depth: brown sugar, vanilla, warm spice and oak. At 114 proof it is powerful but clean, finishing long and dry.
