Doctor Bird Pot Still

100-proof high-ester rum from Jamaica for just $25.99. I will probably always have a bottle of this on my shelf, as the price to quality is quite high. I don't know if it will replace Probitas (aka Veritas) as my go-to cocktail rum, but it is in the discussion.

Solid 7/10 rum on its own. Bonus point for the price.

This rum is truly amazing. Whether you’re mixing or sipping you’ll be very pleased. Lots of perfectly ripe banana, some grass and other vegetal flavors, coconut, and citrus. I love sipping it but also think it shines in tiki cocktails and is a great way to mix it up from your other favorite rums. Like any high ester fruit bomb and funk Jamaican rum, mix sparingly as it can very easily overpower your cocktail. Enjoy!

Tasted June 14, 2023 from our rum collection at the Forbidden Hole 🌴
Trademark Jamaican funky aroma that carries into the flavor. The end is a bit like a cracker, or perhaps bread-like, but still with the funk. Minutes later I can still taste this rum but what lingers is an essence of black licorice or anise.
This is sippable but also sure to make an impression in a tiki drink; I'm thinking it would do well with grapefruit or a bit of apricot liqueur.

Fruity, funky and fun! I think? (I don't actually know) that its the moscatel finish that makes this rum so fruity! It definitely tastes like a young funky pot still rum underneath. Not even underneath tho, you taste the finish which should be last but the heart of the rum comes back to your palate! Long lasting flavour!!! Its delicious and crazy and weird all at the same time.
And heading for a Planters Punch i think...

It's a good sipping rum but it's got such an odd flavor that it is almost painful to drink. It's very smooth but the weird flavor is just so overpowering.

Solid worthy park with a bit of age and complexity. Amazing for the price.

I love this rum, I actually revisited it after getting into Jamaican rums, I guess I didn't realize how good (for the $) it was. Nice strong and good funk / hogo with mild barrel notes, good nose and flavor, dry, not the strongest nose or profile but still great over all. from what I understand from two James it is Continental aged in Michigan, probably why it has very light barrel notes compared to tropical aged rums. Conveniently two James is 6 miles down mich ave from me and the liquor store near my house has it for $25.08 per bottle. Makes this an easy choice to keep for cocktail duty, and as a sipper.

At The Rum House in Manhattan. Nice rum list. I like Worthy Park and Foursquare very much. Jamaican excellence. This just doesn’t compare. If you like this you don’t like sipping rum. I mean this tastes BAD. I can’t sip it. I tried it and sent it back. Too strong. Too malodorous. Too funky. This is the only rum that Bacardi might beat.

Bottle obtained in Minneapolis. Great funk aroma and little else. Burnt rubber flavor and a miserable mouth feel. A big disappointment.
