Fernandes Rum Black Label

This could well be the signature rum of the Fernandes name itself, which has come to symbolise years of tradition, meticulousness and well-earned respect. It is made to be savoured, unhurriedly, in the evening while the day’s victories are regaled with pride. The drinker of distinguished taste who asks for it by name will be receiving one of Trinidad's greatest accolades.
Always experimenting with different ways to age our rums, John has pioneered new premium aged blends including the multi-award winning Angostura International Rum Collection. It is testament to John’s skill that he has doubled the rum distillation output at Angostura while still maintaining the finesse required to produce super premium brands.\nAs much Art as Science, John learned much from his predecessors such as Tommy Gatcliffe, a pioneer in Trinidad rum production, and today a new generation of distillers and spirit crafters look to John for their inspiration.\nA native Trinidadian, John was educated at the University of the West Indies where he graduated with a BSc in Chemical Engineering.\nJohn was a road runner and a hockey player when he was younger but now gets his pleasure and exercise from hiking. He is married to Carmen and they have two children.
