Moon Import Rum Jamaica 15 Years 'Sugar Estates 1949' is processed from sugar cane plants grown in Jamaica. Pressing the ripe plants produces the juice, which is then left to ferment. This is followed by distillation in Pot Still discontinuous stills and the resulting liquid is transferred to Scotland for ageing in oak barrels. The decision to age the rum in Scotland is due to the particular climatic conditions of the country, which create an ideal environment for the optimal sensory evolution of the rum, as well as the long and established tradition of the Scottish people, the most expert in the art of maturing spirits. The maturation process takes a full 15 years and the rum is finally bottled and marketed under the Moon Import brand.

Persuasive and intense on the palate, characterised by a sweet tendency well balanced by the slightly smoky finish.
