This independant bottled rum is brought to us by bottling newcomer Bira! by 77 spirits. Founder and friend of the store Karl Mudzamba selects the rums with his wife, and releases them to a only a couple of thirsty provinces.
This is from South African distillery Mhoba and is matured in ex bourbon barrels. They make non-agricole cane juice rums of several marks including long fermentations and the use of dunder(dunder is not used in this expression).

Shawn's Tasting Note
Nose: Dried chili and sharpie with juicy pineapple creeping up. Slightly herbal with just a hint of grass and maybe even smoke? The overall feel is a little industrial in just the way I like.
Palate: Slight sweetness with generous notes of moist raisins and dried papaya. Licorice all-sorts (the ones with sprinkles on), chilli oil, and a decent layer of creamy oak. Notes of bourbon and char round out the finish, and the vegetal tones come back retro-nasaly.
Comment: A really fun bottle that will please even a novice to the world of high(ish) ester rums.
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Tropical fruit, mint, charred driftwood.
Palate: Funky, oaky, and robust. It’s really unlike any other cane juice rum.
There’s grilled pineapple, overripe banana, furniture polish, old leather, and maybe a couple of lemon drops. Lingering oak finish. This is a first class flight to South Africa, via Jamaica and Guadeloupe. - Robert T. Salmon

Bottled at Navy Strength - a respectable 57% ABV.
From The Producer
"Smith & Cross Jamaica Rum contains only Wedderburn and Plummer pot still distillates, famous for their notes of exotic fruits and spice. The incomparable complexity of this rum delivers a tour de force of flavour that historically made it a cornerstone of classic rum drinks. We have chosen not to chill filter this spirit in order to retain its full flavour.
The mark of Smith & Cross traces its lineage to one of England’s oldest producers of sugar and spirits. Its history dates back to 1788 with a sugar refinery located at No. 203 Thames Street, by the London Docks. Over time, the firm and its partners became prominent handlers of Jamaica rum, with extensive underground cellars along the River Thames."

Bottled at 42% this no age statement blended rum is composed of Martinican Rum, unaged Jamaican Rum and 4 year old Jamaican Rum.
Producer Description
"A predominantly unaged blend of funky rums from Jamaica and fresh, fruity Rhums from Martinique. The blend includes an aged marque from Jamaica, which lends body. This blend is vibrant, bright and characterful, with clear grassy notes from the unaged Martinique rum, and characteristic funk and body from the Jamaican component. No age statement."
About The Label
"Created by Jim’ll Paint It, the label represents the blending of two different styles of rum to become greater than the sum of their parts. Two liquids pour in from the top and spread out into a zig zag pattern incorporating a wider range of colours. The white snake represents Martinique, taken from the flag. The Lignum Vitae represents Jamaica, as it is the country’s national flower."

From The Producer
"Black Tot Day 2022 marks the third iteration of our annual Master Blender’s Reserve, an ever-evolving perpetual blend crafted by our Master Blender, Oliver Chilton.
For this year’s blend, we drew inspiration from historical rums in our collection and the unique flavour profiles they exhibited over half a century ago. These rums, since lost in the rum world, were rich with notes of baked banana, dusty chocolate, mocha milkshakes, honey, tobacco, leather, liquorice, and spice. These flavours were mapped out and became our guide."

Amrut uses the wonders of climate-assisted rapid spirit maturation for more than just whisky! 100% cane sugar rum reaps the benefits of the main part of Amrut's business and spends time in their ex-whisky barrels, along with some new oak. It’s richly coloured and filled with flavours of dried fruit and vanilla with a hint of sweetness.
