AH Johannsen WOODEN BOX Jamaica Rum 50 cl 40%

In Flensburg, a city that in its heyday held over a hundred rum trading houses, A.H. Johannsen keeps the tradition alive. WOODEN BOX is the house's tribute to classic Jamaican rum.

Expert Description

AH Johannsen WOODEN BOX is a Jamaica Rum, bottled at 40%.

The rum comes from A.H. Johannsen, the oldest still-independent rum house in Flensburg, which has traded in Jamaican rum since 1878. The company is housed in a building over 300 years old, which has been its home since 1914, and is one of the last bearers of the city's once-flourishing rum tradition. The WOODEN BOX edition is bottled in a distinctive wooden box, underlining the house's craft-driven, tradition-bound approach to rum.

The result is a full-bodied, earthy rum, where molasses meets spice in a warm, rounded finish.
