Jack Ratt Lugger Golden Rum 8 yr old, Lyme Bay
Description
Lugger Golden Rum is a gorgeous sipping rum, many years in the making. A carefully considered blend of 8 Year Old Barbados Rum, 8YO Dominican Republic Rum, 8YO Venezuela Rum and 8YO Panama Rum.
It is a blend of mainly column still molasses bases – apart from the 8YO Dominican Republic Rum which is a cane juice base and the Barbados Rum which is a column still with partly pot still.
The final blend is aged in ex-Bourbon wooden casks which gives Lugger Golden Rum lovely wood notes on the nose and a rich rum character. It has a wonderfully smooth front palate with a lingering finish and gentle heat.

Producer Details
Lyme Bay was set up by Nigel Howard in 1993 in Devon with the ambition of making high-quality cider. With a burgeoning interest in winemaking, he soon began searching for a location to plant vineyards. Fast forward 16 years and Nigel found the right plot and the right team to fulfil his ambitions, though it would be another six years before the first wines would be released under the Lyme Bay Winery brand. This proved to be well worth the wait - since its inception, the Lyme Bay team has gone from strength to strength and gone on to win hundreds of awards.
Lyme Bay Winery continues to be one of a growing number of English wine producers spearheading a shift towards still wines rather than sparkling wines, though they do produce both. The winery, led by winemaker and MD James Lambert, looks to achieve consistent excellence – no easy feat on account of England's marginal climate.
James and his team have developed long-standing partnerships with some of the UK's best grape growers. Lyme Bay Winery have continued to tread their own, unique path within the English wine industry, by sourcing fruit from five different areas across the south of England.
