Column distilled in 1994, this rum was aged for 25 years in the tropical climate. In 2018, the cask traveled across the Atlantic Ocean to age three more years in the historic Liverpool Docks.
Extremely rich in esters, the long aging of this rum transformed the classic funky Jamaican notes in an explosion of brioche, vanilla, caramel, toasted nuts, citrus essential oils. The palate is outstandingly intense with loads of sweet and spicy scents that stimulate a seemingly endless mouthfeel. The finish is long and elegant: caramelized citrus, peppery and mineral echoes, graphite, and Earl Grey tea.
94Among the rums tested in blind tastings and reviews throughout the year, those scoring the best get reselected. These products were then tried once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The only indication on the sample concerns the ABV content: a red mark states that the product has an ABV higher than 50% (100° proof). The test results are then compared, and the TOP 10 is made.
