Henry Tayler & Ries have been awarded the distribution of Moby Dick Rum.
Moby Dick Imported Caribbean Rum is exclusively distilled and imported from the Jamaican company, J. Booker Rum Merchants Ltd, established in 1815.
The company owns several sugar estates which are dotted around the island. On these estates sugar cane ripens to perfection under the warm Jamaican sun. When the time is right the cane is harvested and the sugar extracted. The distiller then transforms the raw sugar into molasses, which is the end product for the making of rum.
After fermentation, the liquid is double distilled, using both the pot and column still methods. Pot still distillation is the traditional method that has been handed down from the earliest days of rum-making in Jamaica and is known to produce richer, more flavoured rums. The column or continuous method involves the use of three columns and can produce varying products from very light rum to the purest alcohol.
The Moby Dick blend consists of selected rums of varying styles and ages. The maturation process takes place in 40 gallon oak barrels which have been charred on the inside.
Moby Dick Imported Caribbean Rum is rich and dark in colour, with a distinctive softness and a rounded taste. Bottled in the traditional grog-shaped bottle used on the English sailing ships of yesteryear, it is exceptionally mixable and can be enjoyed in a multitude of cocktails.
