Two James Doctor Bird Rum

Doctor Bird is one of the most talked-about and genuinely exciting American rum projects to come out of the craft spirits movement — a bottle that bridges two cities, two climates, and two cask traditions into something deeply Jamaican and completely original. Distilled from pot stills at Worthy Park Estate in Jamaica — aged over six years in ex-bourbon American oak barrels in the tropics — then shipped to Two James Distillery in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood, where it undergoes a final finishing period in Moscatel sherry casks imported from Spain before being blended and bottled at 50% ABV. The result is a rum that makes an immediate impression. The nose delivers a miraculous bouquet of overripe bananas, maraschino cherries, olive brine, fresh-cut grass, and fresh orange-filled pastries, while the palate bursts with passion fruit, coconut husks, dried lemon peel, pineapple, and ripe strawberries alongside dark caramel, grapefruit pith, and charred oak. The finish is medium-long, oily, and warming with rotting tropical fruit, strawberries, jackfruit, and a slight oak essence. Named after Jamaica's national bird — the Red-billed Streamertail hummingbird — Doctor Bird is the gold standard for funky Jamaican rum in cocktails and genuinely extraordinary neat.
