Clarke's Court Jab Oil Gold, 75cl

Clarke's Court Jab Oil in the gold bottle, at 44%. Bold, smooth and unapologetically Grenadian.

Jab Oil is Clarke's Court's tribute to Jab Jab, the heart of Grenada's carnival. On J'ouvert morning at Spicemas, the Jab Jab bands come out of the darkness before dawn, blackened with oil, molasses or mud and wearing horned helmets. Clarke's Court made Jab Oil with Spicemas to celebrate that culture: Grenadian carnival, Jab and J'ouvert.

It's made with rum, spices and bois bandé, and it pours black. The colour comes from activated charcoal, to represent the oil of Jab Jab.

It comes in two bottles. This is the Gold, at 44%. The other is Clarke's Court Jab Oil Red, the overproof at 64%.

Tastes like: no other.

How to drink it:

• With cola: Coca-Cola or Dr Pepper keep the colour and the taste
• With cola and a wedge of lime
• With ginger beer
• Straight, if that's how you like it
