    #5337 19.11.2023 Enjoying this nice sample that was a birthday present to myself from myself. Old tasting that I have forgotten to add, luckily I still have everything on paper. I should have bought a bottle back then seeing the price now. Nose Medium intense, wood, light roasted, faint smoke, light varnish, light coconut, spice, pineapple. Palate Oily, medium intense, balanced, wood, light roasted, light cherry, faint coffee, light banana, spice, fruity, light caramel. Finish Long, wood, fruits, faint floral, faint coffee, pineapple, light caramel. Note Incredible balance of ABV and wood. Especially the wood is a surprise because I'd expected a very woody Palate and finish.

    Bottle share during FRS x RRS in Jamaica, 2023. Bottle 113 of 183 was sipped. Rested for 3.5 hours prior to sipping. Warm woody roasted aroma. Smoky, oaky, orange peel taste with tropical fruit taking a backseat. Moderate alcohol punch. Exceptionally long finish of tobacco and leather. Cloudy residue remained in glass.

    Amazing 1976 jamaican rum, the taste and aromas is incredible. The finish is very, very looong.
