I've never seen it on the shelves at the liquor stores in my area - only the W&N white overproof.

Blackwell Rum is made by the grandson of the man who bought J Wray & Nephew in the early 1900's, Chris Blackwell.

Go here for the story: blackwellrum.com

Going to see if I can get my local liquor store get some for me to try.

The LCBO has it and I was tempted to try it but based on what I've been hearing from others who've tried it I decided to pass. I'm trying to cut down on the booze collecting and only buy things that fill gaps in my cabinet and that one just sounds like it would sit next to a few other Jamaican rums that are different but pretty much interchangeable. If I hear anything that tells me that it's something special, I may reconsider.
