Valinch & Mallet The Spirit of Art Jamaica Blend «Esters' Delight #2» 2008 14yr 56,9%
The Spirit of Art Jamaica Blend "Esters' Delight #2" is a Jamaican rum crafted by Valinch & Mallet from multiple distilleries, distilled in 2008, and aged for 14 years. Bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 56.9%, it features an ester-rich aroma with tropical fruit, glue, and spicy notes. Tasting highlights include tropical fruits, esters, and citrus, with a woody finish. Users appreciate its complex ester profile and well-integrated alcohol, describing it as a nice blend with a fruity, funky vibe. The blend also includes hints of toffee, vanilla, and licorice, though it lacks the depth expected from a multi-distribution rum. Limited to 262 bottles, it's a unique, balanced experience representing Jamaican terroir.

“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.”
