The Little Distiller Ultimatum Rum Infinitum 12

The Little Distiller's Ultimatum range gathers Caribbean rum into approachable bottlings, and this Infinitum 12 carries a genuine twelve year age statement. The base is molasses distilled on pot stills, then matured in ex bourbon barrels, a combination that gives a straightforward fruity and oaky character built for easy drinking rather than challenge.

The nose and palate stay in familiar territory, fruity with a clear oak backbone and a soft, gently sweet body that some find a touch liqueur like. Even at its modest strength the spirit can feel slightly warm and present, but the overall effect is a no nonsense, beginner friendly blend that does not demand much of the drinker. With the specific islands and cask programme unstated, it is best taken as a reliable, mellow aged blend for those easing into pot still rum rather than chasing heavy ester intensity.
