The Everyday Edit｜ Other Products ｜Bounty Strong 151 Proof Rum

Bounty Strong is the rum Saint Lucians actually grow up with. On the island, locals still show up at the distillery with recycled bottles to buy rum in bulk straight from the cask — the base for homemade spiced rums and family concoctions — and Strong 151 is that tradition in a sealed bottle. St. Lucia Distillers, the Roseau Valley house formed in 1972, builds it from fresh Coffey column still rum at 93.5% proofed down with cask-strength three-year-old column rum, then rests it in exhausted ex-rum casks whose tannins have long since given out, so the wood adds a natural straw color and soft oaky overtones rather than heavy barrel flavor. Bottled at 75.5% ABV (151 proof) in a one-liter bottle. Master of Malt found heaps of baking spice and bold vanilla with tropical fruit and toffee in support; the distillery describes a remarkably smooth composition that softens the initial punch of high-strength rum — toasted marshmallow, warm vanilla bean, and prune pie leading to dry yellow fruit, saffron, and fresh cinnamon bark. Honest note: this is 151. It's built to be diluted, floated, or steeped, not sipped straight, and it should be handled accordingly. It's the answer to a Zombie float, a Jet Pilot, a flaming garnish, or a homemade spiced rum infusion — and one of the few Caribbean overproofs with real distillery pedigree at the price.Buy Bounty Strong 151 Proof Rum online with fast shipping right to your door.
