THOMAS TEW USA, RHODE ISLAND A stunning rum based on an historic Newport recipe and named after a notorious local pirate. Thomas Tew Authentic Single-Barrel Single distilled, single barrel aged for up to 2 years, this blackstrap molasses rum is only made 105 gallons at a time. Bottles are all hand labeled. It has huge body that lasts for ages — lightly bittersweet but with plenty of sugar to keep it nicely balanced. Fans of big, classically-styled rums — that don’t go as far as agricole — will dig this one, big time. 4 Stars Highly Recommended – Spirit Journal Pot-Still Rum 84PF / 750ML
