The distillery works in small batches with locally sourced ingredients and no additives or preservatives, and No 1 is its flagship: an aged dark rum blended from selected components drawn from Jamaica's prestigious distilleries, bottled under the rallying cry on its neck tag — “Bring the Funk.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose is aromatic and complex, leading with rich caramel and toffee, subtle vanilla, hints of cinnamon and nutmeg, and a faint note of seasoned oak underneath. The palate is smooth and balanced — sweet brown sugar and molasses complemented by butterscotch, vanilla, seasoned oak and warm spice, with a slight smokiness that rounds out a full-bodied pour.
