Jamaican Pot Still Rum 'The Funk'

• High-ester pot still Jamaican white rum sourced and bottled by Proof and Wood in Bardstown, Kentucky
• Distilled from molasses at Worthy Park Estate in St. Catherine Parish, Jamaica
• Notes of pineapple skin, gentle acidity, underripe banana, olive brine, saline, overripe mango, damp soil, and petrichor
• 50% ABV

The Funk is a high-ester rum from the WP Estate, not unlike the flavorful pot still rums once so popular among the British Royal Navy, full of bold tropical fruit notes and the notorious “hogo” (from “haute goût,” meaning “piquant”) that made the island’s spirit so famous. Try using this surprisingly versatile “seasoning” rum in small quantities to increase the depth and funk of any rum or fruit-based cocktails.
