It took ninety attempts to nail the right spice blend, and the result is a Jamaican high ester rum that's equal parts authentic and approachable.
Expert Description
Canerock is a spiced Jamaica Rum-based Spirit Drink, distilled in pot and column stills at the Clarendon and Long Pond distilleries, partly finished in ex-Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and flavoured with Madagascar vanilla, Jamaican ginger and coconut, bottled at 40%.
The base is genuine Jamaican high ester rum between 5 and 10 years old, giving Canerock a deeper, more authentic rum character than many other spiced rum products on the market. The addition of natural spices and flavourings means the drink is sold as a spirit drink rather than rum, however. Part of the blend is finished in sherry casks, adding rich sweetness and notes of raisin and cocoa.
The result is a warm, bakery-like drink with a pronounced Jamaican ester character underneath.
