M.E. Bellows‘ & Son Jamaica Rum 1834
Highly praised as a unique historical bottling with a pleasant, mellow profile of dried fruit, caramel and citrus. Simple on the palate, but a memorable, nostalgic experience in the glass.
History geeks and relaxed sippers who value the story in the glass, enjoy light dried-fruit sweetness, and don’t need high intensity or ester funk.

Kus historie, kde jsem nadšen, že jsem toho mohl být součástí. Ve vůni staré, mírně zatuchlé dřevo, koření. Z chuti je ta “starota” velmi cítit, velmi dřevité, lehce zatuchlé, sušené ovoce. Velmi jemné. Nic staršího pít asi nikde nebudu, a hlavní zážitek vidím v konzumaci historie.
Pretty nice profile for that old rum. Not long remaining taste, but nice grapes, mango, datles even in the nose. Not shrap (40%) but definitely not pure water. It is surprise for me, that such an old rum have nice taste.
