The company is privately held by Austrian owners.

The latter takes place at Williams & Humbert's facilities in Jerez with the rum transferred to casks that previously contained “Dos Cortados” (Palo Cortado Sherry). The final stage finishes the rum in x Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks. Tasting note: Brilliant amber-gold ochre dazzles in the glass. Moderate aromas of raisin and date cake, raw sugar, dark chocolate, caramel fudge and aged muscat wine, follows through to a silky, easy, graceful delivery; Flavours of liqueur muscat, raisins and honey finishing moderately viscous and medium-sweet with succulent dried fruit and caramel notes in the aftertaste. The PX makes a strong impact. Will appeal to lovers of sweet sherry. 40% Alc./Vol.

Our second limited edition numbered release. Each bottle one of 1181. During the month of February 2020, the world was changing rapidly. Whilst most of the world was concerned about a new virus, our distillers were working hard in the Distillery on different yeast strains, alcohol content from fermentation, head and tails cuts, types of oak and seasoning of barrels, with a view to understanding what our future final rums might look like. While Barbados and Jamacia were the original inspiration, it was always known that local factors would be what made us unique. The resulting spirit was aged in old French Oak red wine barrels that were re-coopered to 100L and seasoned with port.
