At this price, it should offer something, and it does! From nose to finish, tropical and dried fruits harmonize excellently with each other. The cask is perfectly integrated so that wood is noticeable, but only very subtly. The wood is accompanied by spices, allspice, nuts and a little chocolate; in varying degrees from nose to finish. The sweetness is provided by a pleasant caramel note, which tastes like crème brulee on the palate. Great cinema!
The rum is relatively shallow for its age. The alcohol is well integrated with a slight sweetness. There is a hint of spiciness at the back. Could be a strange cask with whisky influences. Or the rum is somewhat overblended. The price is abnormal, but understandable given the age.
Fruity start with light esters from Hampden and a spiciness from Long Pond, a little thin but round, more marzipan in the course, light peaty/smoky notes in the finish. Could have been a whisky cask involved. Overall, it doesn't completely convince me - quite apart from the price...
Tasted after 2 days at Whisky live Paris! A fitting end to this 2025 edition! Quite a discreet nose, needs to be opened up! A good hour at least for it to begin to reveal itself. Rather fine, elegant profile, we find the Jamaican profile with some esters, but quite discreet.
