An easy Jamaican style blend at 40% from the Wray and Nephew stable, with light funk, caramel, cocoa and a touch of wood, a soft, affordable bottle that leans more toward a daily cocktail mixer than a serious neat sipper.
Description
Blackwell Black Gold is bottled by J. Wray and Nephew, the company behind Appleton, as a soft, accessible take on Jamaican rum at an easy 40%. It sits at the gentle, mainstream end of the island's output, pitched at cocktails and casual drinking rather than analysis.
The profile is light and approachable: a touch of Jamaican funk over caramel sweetness, cocoa, nougat and gentle wood, with a spicy, chocolate tinged finish. There is some warmth from the alcohol despite the modest strength, and the funk stays restrained rather than the loud ester character of the island's pot still heavyweights. A versatile, affordable bottle that works best as a daily mixer in a Dark and Stormy or similar, with enough island flavour to sip casually.
