Screech Rum 40% Vol. 0,7l

The Screech Newfoundland Dark Rum is an unusual rum. It comes from Jamaica in the Caribbean, where the producers produce it. In the eponymous Newfoundland in Canada, they subject it to a unique blending of four different distillates. It is then aged for at least two years in former American oak bourbon barrels. After storage, the manufacturers fill it with an alcohol content of 40% vol. in 0.7 l bottles.
