Description
Skipper Rum Overproof is a bold and characterful dark rum from Guyana, bottled at a robust ABV. Crafted using traditional Demerara distillation methods, it offers a rich and intense flavour profile that appeals to both cocktail enthusiasts and serious rum drinkers. The rum is aged in ex-whisky barrels, which lend it depth and complexity, while the higher proof enhances its warming, full-bodied nature.
On the nose, Skipper Overproof opens with aromas of dark treacle, roasted coffee, and molasses, followed by hints of dried fruit and a touch of spice. The palate is powerful yet surprisingly smooth, delivering layers of blackcurrant, liquorice, and burnt sugar, balanced by a subtle oak influence. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of toffee and spice that make it ideal for sipping or mixing into bold, flavour-forward cocktails.
With its vintage-style label and naval heritage, Skipper Rum Overproof is a distinctive addition to any back bar or drinks cabinet. It’s a versatile spirit that brings depth and intensity to classic rum serves, from a punchy Daiquiri to a rich Rum Old Fashioned.
