Portrait: What makes the Takamaka St Andre Series PTI Lakaz special.

The Trois Frere's Distillery is famous for its Takamaka series.
The Takamaka St Andre Series shows the fine art of rum distillation.
The Takamaka St Andre Series PTI Lakaz is a blended pot still and column still rum from three different types of casks.

Former Ruby Port wine casks and two different French oak casks are used - a three-year molasses rum from the column still that matured in former bourbon casks and an eight-year-old Bajan Foursquare molasses rum.

The rum is bottled without chill filtration and without the addition of colorings and sugar
