The age-old French word for knitting, inspired the British Navy to name the expert nautical tool and dagger a MarlinSpike. It became a symbol of seaman proficiency, daring pioneership, and because of its controlled power and grace, even the marlin-fish. The symbolism of the Marlin spike is expressed in our credo: a posse ad esse. The impossible made possible.
MarlinSpike is blended and aged for complexity:
The noble base comes from matured rums from Trinidad & Tobago
Combined with aged rum from Barbados to further establish the flavor contrast.
The depth of flavor comes from an aged pot-stilled rum of Jamaica
A fourth rum from yet another Latin American country gives it its magical and unique freshness
The aroma notes of Marlin Spike:
Fruitiness: banana, green-apple, and tropical fruit
Spice: strong clove and vanilla undertones
Only a hint of Floral: rose and honey
