Cadenhead A Jamaican Rum 2011 15 Year Old
Cadenhead A Jamaican Rum 2011 15 Year Old is a 15-year-old Jamaican rum from Scotland's oldest independent bottler: distilled in 2011 and bottled at 100.8 proof (50.4% ABV) in a 700mL bottle — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
WM Cadenhead has bottled exceptional casks since 1842, and its Dated Distillation Rum range captures vintage-dated rums at their peak. The distillery behind this bottling is deliberately undisclosed — Cadenhead buys the cask, not the name — identified only by its batch code, JAM.1.A. Fifteen years of maturation have shaped a rum with the depth and character Jamaica is famous for, presented at full cask strength with nothing added and nothing taken away.
Why buy it? Because aged, high-proof Jamaican rum from an independent bottler is one of the best values in serious rum — fifteen years old at full strength, for the price of far younger branded bottlings. Browse the WM Cadenhead collection, more aged rum, and other world spirits.
Serving note: neat with a few drops of water to open it up — built for slow sipping, not mixing.
What does "A Jamaican Distillery" mean? Cadenhead does not name the distillery; the cask is identified by its batch code, JAM.1.A — standard practice among independent bottlers.
What is the Dated Distillation Rum range? Cadenhead's series of vintage-dated rums, each drawn from a stated distillation year.
How strong is it? 100.8 proof (50.4% ABV), 700mL.
Is this a limited release? Dated-distillation bottlings are finite by nature — once the cask is gone, it is gone.
