No3 Pot Still Rum is made from the aforementioned sugarcane honey and distilled in June 2010 in one of their copper pot stills. Aged for 8 years in ex-Bourbon barrels in Venezuela and bottled at 47% ABV, each release from the Distillery Collection is limited at 5000 bottles and, unlike the core range, it’s free of additives. I have tasted the range before and the No3 is my favourite from the series hands down, so I’m looking forward to sit down with it for a bit.

On the nose I get banana sweets, marmalade, dry figs and toffee. Strawberry jam, sweet plums and caramel. Dusty leather, sawdust, coffee liqueur, faded acetone and a hint of cinnamon. Quite deserty with a slight funk.

On the palate is definitely heavier. Dark chocolate, black pepper, sultanas, slightly salted caramel, strawberries and mangoes. Some toasted oak, tobacco and a hint of varnish. Pineapple, vanilla, butterscotch and a pinch of chilli powder. None of the flavours overpower the other although the thicker toffee-like texture dominates upfront then the heavier fruity-spicy elements come mid palate and towards the end. The finish is medium with some mild funk and spiciness.
