Papalin Jamaica 5 Y.O. 2024 Overproof: the return of the blender tradition

Papalin Jamaica 5 Y.O. 2024 Overproof is the new release from the project dedicated to blends devised by Luca Gargano, driven by a desire to return to the history of rum in the late 1800s, when Jamaican traders began making blends. Tropical blends, which lacked indications of the distilleries of origin, gradually disappeared from the 1970s, when distilleries began selling their products: Papalin therefore intends to take up the oldest tradition. The aim is to unite rums from a single island that have been totally produced and aged at distilleries.

This release is a Navy Proof version, wilder than the reduced-grade bottled version; it is made from a blend of Worthy Park, Long Pond and Hampden aged for five years at their distilleries.
