Once very popular in TIKI drinks, this flavorful (originally) Jamaican liqueur was rarely seen outsite of the Caribbean island for many, many years and just made its comeback by the release of The Bitter Truth Pimento Dram, an intensivly rich spice liqueur based on allspice (the Jamaican`s called it Pimento, but it´s also commonly known as Jamaican Pepper) and pot still distilled jamaican molasses rum. Enjoy this episode!
