This is the 2006 release as per the photos. This rum has become very difficult to find as it is discontinued.

BRN Sea Wynde rum is produced by blending 5 rums from Jamaica and Guyana. These rums are distilled using copper pot stills and aged in small oak casks.

Bottled at a good drinking strength of 46%, Sea Wynde is a blend of aged pot-distilled rums from Jamaica and Guyana produced in small batches under the auspices of a certain Jim Murray, author of the Whisky Bible. Splendid packaging, with a metal badge on the front of the bottle.

For centuries, the finest rums, like whiskeys, were made in pot stills. Traditionally, pot still rums from several different origins were married together to produce the most coveted rums, rich and complex with flavor. This costly and time-consuming method of distillation has now all but vanished. Today, most rum brands are the product of a column still or a combination of column still and pot still rums. Furthermore, most rum brands are the product of a single country.

Sea Wynde is a rum unlike any other. Not only is it made using the traditional pot still technique, but it also marries rums from Jamaica and Guyana, creating a rich flavor that could never be reproduced by column stills used today, and also proves that two are better than one. In fact, Sea Wynde is the only rum in the world, to our knowledge, to combine pure pot still rums from these two countries. The individual rums are aged in small oak casks, some in the Carribbean and some in the UK. Once all the individual casks are selected, the rums are vatted together prior to bottling.

Sea Wynde is bottled in small batches and, like a vintage wine, the flavor of each bottling will vary. It is a rum of honeyed richness and subtle complexity which places it in a class of its own, and demonstrates the benefits of sticking with tradition. Sea Wynde Pot Still Rum allows you to experience the invigorating taste of the Caribbean and South America any time of year.

The replacement for the Appleton 8 Year Old, which has been crafted using similar aged rums. Tropical fruits, warm brown bread and molasses stand out on the palate.

Appleton Estate is located deep in the middle of Jamaica’s Nassau Valley. Their journey towards rum-making began over 265 years ago. 

As spirits age quicker in tropical climates than cooler ones, this means that the flavour of the rums develops at a quicker pace and one Appleton Estates has used to craft their distinct taste. The densely forested limestone hills surrounding the region’s topography makes for a rum unlike any other.
