Oakes & Co. -Rum (Chateau Millange) 1878

Oakes & Co. Rum (Chateau Millange) 1878 is an antique Jamaican rum distilled from molasses, a bottling dating to 1878 under the Oakes & Co. name. As a Jamaican rum it stems from the island's pot still tradition, where long fermentation gives the fruity ester character Jamaica has long been known for, here carried in a spirit of great age.

A bottling from the nineteenth century, this is above all a collector's piece and a piece of liquid history rather than an everyday pour. Its character reflects the classic Jamaican molasses rum of its era, a rare survivor that speaks to the island's long heritage as a rum-producing nation.
