Smith & Cross Rum

Smith & Cross Rum is a blended rum of heavy Wedderburn-style rum and medium-bodied Plummer rum, both renowned for their notes of exotic fruit and spice. The unparalleled complexity of this rum offers a true sensory journey, making it a historic cornerstone of classic rum cocktails. Naturally, this Jamaican molasses rum is neither filtered nor flavored.

On the nose, intense tropical fruits – pineapple, overripe bananas – mingle with strong, varnish-like / solvent notes (lacquer, glue), which then give way to exotic fruit and berries, complemented by spices such as cinnamon and clove.

On the palate, tropical fruit (pineapple, mango, bananas), spice, subtle earthy tones, red fruit and hints of black tea or ginger emerge.

The finish is long and warming, with a mix of spice, lingering tropical fruit, gentle sweetness and woody undertones.

This rum is bottled at 57 % ABV (so-called “navy strength”) and works brilliantly as a base for cocktails (Mai Tai, Jungle Bird, Kingston Negroni), yet it is bold enough to be enjoyed neat by those who love the “funky” Jamaican style.
