Rumbullion! proudly flaunts its maritime inspiration with a label that bears a hand-drawn illustration of a Navy grog tub, and just like all of the fine spirits in the Ableforth's arsenal, each bottle is wrapped in crinkled brown paper, wound with twine and sealed with black wax.
TASTING NOTES :
NOSE: intense and sweet vanilla with flamboyant orange zest. Cardamom and cloves bring out a deep and dark complexity, with added sweetness from cinnamon, which pairs beautifully with the essential oil notes of Seville orange peel.
PALATE: a blend of thick-cut bitter orange marmalade and tingling, zingy spices. Notes of Manuka honey and cinnamon, with molasses, cotton candy, caramel apples, crème brûlée, and oranges studded with cloves.
FINISH: long, with tongue-tingling spices and a surprising degree of freshness as cinnamon, orange, and creamy sweet vanilla coat the palate for a few minutes.

Produced in the Dominican Republic, Matusalem Gran Reserva is a Cuban-style premium. Aged in a solera system, it remained in barrels for about fifteen years. Sweet and spicy at the same time, it is marked by notes of zest of oranges, banana, vanilla and cinnamon. Little sweet compared to many other current rums, it remains light and easy to drink.
Tropical and mature, with the texture of melted chocolate and one of the finest finishes a single malt can bring, this stunning whisky calls for quiet admiration. Round and velvety, yet developed and fresh. Smoothed over by time, but with a beating heart
TASTIN NOTES
