Rum from the Dominican Republic typically has a softer, more approachable style than its heavy Trinidadian cousins, and Blackadder's Raw Cask edition shows that character in its purest, unfiltered form.
Expert Description
Dominican 2011/2021 Blackadder Raw Cask 10 Year Finest is a Dominican Rum from a single cask, aged for 10 years and bottled at 60.1%.
The rum is bottled by Blackadder International, the family-run Scottish bottler founded in 1995 by Robin Tucek, without any filtration or added colour, in line with the rest of the Raw Cask range. Compared to Blackadder's Trinidadian releases, the Dominican style is traditionally lighter and more rounded, something this rum confirms despite its relatively high natural cask strength. The rum was distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2021 after 10 years of ageing.
The result is a round, fruity rum, where tropical fruit and vanilla meet a warm, spiced finish with a hint of honey.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Tropical fruit, vanilla and a touch of honey.

Did You Know?
The Dominican rum tradition is shaped by the country's Spanish colonial history and typically builds on lighter, more approachable styles than the heavier, English-speaking Caribbean islands such as Trinidad and Jamaica.
