Two James - Doctor Bird Jamaican Rum 750ml

Two James Doctor Bird Jamaican Rum is a vibrant collision of Caribbean tradition and American craft. Produced by Two James Spirits in the historic Corktown neighborhood of Detroit, this spirit bridges the gap between tropical heat and northern ingenuity. Since sugar cane does not grow in Michigan, the distillery turned to one of the oldest producers in Jamaica to source the liquid. They selected a blend of rich rums known for their intensity and depth.

Once the rum arrives in Detroit, it undergoes a unique transformation. The spirit is finished in Moscatel wine casks. This step sets it apart from standard bottlings. The sweet, floral influence of the Moscatel wood pairs perfectly with the natural funk of the Jamaican spirit. Bottled at a robust 100 proof, this rum is often described as a high-ester flavor bomb.

In the glass, it offers an explosion of tropical aromas. You will find distinct notes of ripened banana, pineapple, and juicy mango. Deeper layers reveal passionfruit and creamy coconut. The barrel aging adds a touch of butterscotch and dried lemon peel, while a hint of grapefruit pith keeps the finish dry and zesty. It has incredible length and complexity. This is a rum that demands attention, whether you sip it with a splash of water or use it to supercharge a classic Tiki cocktail.
