The Portsmouth Distillery, 1968, White Rum, England (41%)

Made in a centuries-old Naval fort in the coastal Hampshire town of Portsmouth, this white rum has all that one could want from such a thing. It’s made in the “Rhum Agricole” style, from cane juice syrup imported from Central America. A delicate wash of grassy, herbal character can be found throughout. Impeccably distilled and delightfully moreish, this is excellent on the rocks – and just right for an evening of mojitos.
