Afrohead XO 15 Year Old Premium Aged Dark Rum

Detailed Description

Back in 2008, as a proprietor of the The Landing Guest House and Restaurant in Harbor Island, Joe Farrell began hand-bottling his own rum and serving it exclusively to his guests. The rum was identifiable only by the image on its label — a Bahamian woman in the likeness of co-creator Toby Tyler’s grandmother, who was named the first Miss Bahamas in 1963. visitors from around the world traveled to Farrell’s establishment, they began asking simply for the “Afrohead” bottle, and thus Afrohead Rum was born.

Distillery Information

Afrohead Rum pays homage to the original 17th century rum makers in the West Indies, whose island rum was known to be aged and dark. Made from sugar cane molasses sourced from the Dominican Republic, Afrohead XO 15 Year Premium Aged Dark Rum is fermented using a proprietary Trinidadian yeast strain before being distilled up to five times. After distillation, the rum is aged for fifteen years in once-used oak barrels that previously housed Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey before it’ s bottled by hand in Barbados. As a result, Afrohead XO has a golden amber appearance with aromas of leather, tobacco and tropical fruits. The palate is complex and savory, with notes of black pepper and allspice leading to an exceptionally long, smooth finish.
