    How does this rum taste?

    The Spirit of Art Jamaica Blend "Esters' Delight #2" showcases a complex profile, sourced from multiple esteemed Jamaican distilleries. Distilled in 2008 and aged for 14 years, this pot still rum is cask strength with an ABV of 56.9%. User reviews emphasize the balance between fruit, ester, and spice notes, featuring aromas of tropical fruit and hints of glue and pineapple. The palate echoes this with vibrant flavors of tropical fruit, citrus, and subtle sweetness. Limited to just 262 bottles, it is well-regarded for its craftsmanship, though some wish for more depth compared to its predecessor.

    Unfortunately I don't know the predecessor to make a comparison. All in all, a nice blend. But unfortunately nothing extraordinary that knocks me off my feet. In my opinion, it fits into the easy sipper category.

    Nice Jamaican blend. I prefer the nose over the palate as it is more vibrant and funky. Nevertheless well balanced on the palate with fruits, wood, vanilla, cookie dough and milk chocolate.

    A solid and beautiful Jamaica blend. Unfortunately, however, not on the level of the Ester Delight I. For 135€ priced for 2023 okay, but not outstanding.

    #4119 Once rested for a good while this one releases a nice ester profile without it being too dominant. Fruity and intense nose with some glue and light licorice. The empty glass is nice with some tropical fruits and very light chocolate. Price to quality is OK.
