The MacNairs Exploration Jamaica Unpeated Rum is a high-quality Caribbean rum with a distinct character. Produced by the renowned GlenAllachie Distillery, primarily known for its Single Malt Scotch Whisky, this rum showcases their foray into the world of rums, with a special focus on the Clarendon Distillery in Jamaica, celebrated for its exceptional rums.

The rum boasts a strong and complex aroma and taste, with notes of tropical fruits like pineapple, mango, and banana, alongside hints of honey, vanilla, and a subtle smokiness. Distilled at the Clarendon Distillery and aged at the GlenAllachie Distillery in Scotland in a blend of red wine, rye, ex-bourbon, and virgin oak casks, this intricate aging process results in a rich and intricate flavor profile that makes it a stunning expression and a must-try for rum enthusiasts.
