The Proof
At 94 proof, you would expect something harsh – but to the contrary, Spiced Jack No. 94 delivers an extremely smooth, full flavored spiced rum. A top secret combination of native spices is used to punch up the flavor of the centuries-old traditional island rum. As a result, No. 94 is the perfect addition to any cocktail and is just as smooth served straight up.
The Legend
As a Navy pilot stationed in Bermuda in 1956, Lieutenant Jack Butler developed a taste for fine rum and a reputation for rowdy carousing. After countless hours spent in his ramshackle bungalow, Jack perfected his recipe for blending spiced rum, using a top-secret combination of native spices to punch up the flavor of the centuries-old traditional island rum. On a stormy day in late 1957, Jack’s plane disappeared without a trace…and later friends discovered that his stockpile of rum was mysteriously missing. What happened to Jack Butler and his perfect blend of island rum and spices? We may never know. Fortunately for us, however, Jack quietly enclosed the recipe in a letter to his brother shortly before he vanished. We now offer it to you, precisely as formulated so many years ago…as a tribute to Jack, wherever he may be.
