Papalin - Jamaica 7 Year Rum (750ml)

Papalin is a celebration of rum blends, historically the most important method of product creation. After the success of the (now-collectable) first edition launched by Velier in October 2013, the brand has been revived with the second release: Papalin Jamaica 7 Years Old. Jamaica has long been an area of interest to Velier and this new Papalin bottling represents a new technique for blending tropically aged pot still rums. These ‘vatted rums’ (blends of different pot stills), have been aged entirely in the tropical climate of the respective warehouses of the distilleries where they were produced: Worthy Park and Hampden Estate. We owe much to the care and expertise of their cellar management teams.

The Papalin project is considered a “dependent bottling,” in that Velier is the only company that creates direct partnerships with distilleries when it comes to sourcing and aging rums, and therefore depends on the distillers and cellar managers know how and input through the many stages of production. All projects are collaborations, planned hand in hand with our producer partners. Papalin Jamaica 7 years old, at 47% ABV, is a perfect introduction to the style of Jamaican rum for new consumers. It is balanced, approachable, round, and easy to enjoy for all spirits lovers whether it is drunk neat, on the rocks or mixed into cocktails
