About this bottle

Among the oddest of spirit names, Screech is Jamaican rum imported and bottled in Newfoundland, of all unexpected places. The northern Canadian province has a long tradition of sending boats loaded with salted cod to the Caribbean, returning full of bulk rum to be bottled and sold throughout Canada. The Screech name has a murky backstory involving the yelp an unsuspecting sailor made after consuming rum of very dubious quality. Thankfully, Screech is much less of a gamble these days.

Some brown sugar on the palate. Doesn't quite have the same depth in taste as in smell. A bit harsh on the backend.

It’s good for cocktails and cooking, but ordinary as a standalone.
