    How does this rum taste?

    • Complex aromatic profile
    • Layered flavor experience
    • Unique long aging process

    Leviathan rum, selected by Compagnie des Indes, is a unique blend distilled from both molasses and sugar cane juice, utilizing a column still method, and aged for an impressive 48 years. This limited-edition release comprises only 525 bottles, featuring a remarkable combination of aromas like dried fruit, raisin, and leather. On the palate, it presents barrel, raisin, and licorice notes, creating a complex and layered taste experience. Despite its low 46% ABV, Leviathan rum offers a complex nose and rich flavor, but some find the finish unusually short given its age. While praised for its aromatic and flavor complexity, critiques highlight the perceived thinness and less pronounced finish relative to expectations for such an aged blend.

    "Really great nose! The 46% is not noticeable in a negative way. However, a little more power would have made this rum something special. Slight deductions in the thin finish."

    "Incredibly exciting nose of fresh fig, black tea, leather, burnt caramel , tree resin, orange peel and rose water, as well as burnt wood and baking spices.Taste then first quite woody and spicy, herbaceous, plus maple syrup and rose peppers, as well as rosehip with black tea, leather belt and velvety after prune and licorice. Properly astringent on the finish, tannins like an old red wine. A really nice interplay of flavors and in my opinion not too thin if you take your time for it.Also despite the age still impressively complex and not too woody!Personally, I find the CDI Cayman but overall more exciting and complex. The Leviathan is more straightforward and quaffable. But both are definitely fun!"

    "On retasting I can see that I would have loved a higher ABV as with the Kaiman. I just got this sample today and it just came at me from the glass while resting it. What a wonderful blend. Perfectly balanced, complex and intense. The long aging is heavy on the flavours and rhe barrel almost gets to a note where it is harsh. Coffee, licorice, fruit, leather, herbs, menthol and the barrel dance in near perfect harmony on cloud 17. I will order a bottle though expensive. A great rum that beats the Kaiman blend, which I like a lot as well. Price to quality is hard to put on this one. In my mind the price matches the quality."

    "Very complex and balanced. However, the price / performance ratio is not justified at all"
