This exceptional rum is the product of a special collaboration between Distilia and Catawiki, combining years of passion and expertise to create a true masterpiece. Bottled in 2023, this 28-year-old Jamaican rum from the famed New Yarmouth distillery embodies the rich traditions and bold flavors of the island.

Named after the Lignum Vitae—meaning "wood of life" in Latin—this rum captures the spirit of Jamaica. The Lignum Vitae is known for its striking blue flowers and orange-yellow fruit, as well as its historic use in shipbuilding. Once used in propeller shaft bearings, this plant has been vital to the shipyards of Jamaica, making it a symbol of both beauty and strength. So significant is the Lignum Vitae to the Jamaican people that its flower is a national emblem.

Like the Lignum Vitae, this rum offers a unique connection to the island, its history, and its vibrant culture. With only 239 bottles in this limited-edition release, each features a stunning design and is available exclusively through Catawiki’s dedicated auctions.
