    • Tropical fruit aroma
    • Complex yet easy to drink
    • Authentic Jamaican character

    The Single Cask Rum, distilled at Long Pond in Jamaica and bottled by Duncan Taylor, is a well-regarded offering among connoisseurs. Aged for 15 years, it features an enticing aroma of tropical fruit and coconut, complemented by leather and vegetal notes. On the palate, the rum is a delightful blend of tropical fruit, vanilla, and pineapple, with herbal undertones and a dry finish. Though sporting a high ABV of 51.9%, it maintains a balanced and accessible character. Users appreciate its complexity and authenticity as a Jamaican rum but note that the wood influence might be slightly pronounced for some. Overall, it offers a satisfying experience, especially for those who enjoy the classic Jamaican funk.

    "01.11.2019 Den Dansk Rom & Whiskyfestival This was my first visit to this two day event, where everything is included in the ticket. Also the first event where I have seen so many extremely drunk people. This event usually just has what's considered mainstream products, but luckily my friend had the right contacts so for a premium we had our own little collection to go through. Today I get free a free ticket if I want to attend 😊 A very nice and intense rum. Fruity with nice grass and herbal notes. Dry on the palate with a very long and warm finish."

    "Ein typischer Ester-Jamaicaner wie man es erwartet, nicht mehr und nicht weniger."

    "Schönes LP Profil jedoch zu wenig ausgeprägt aufgrund des tiefen ABV, easy Dailysipper. Alkohol dürfte einbisschen besser eingebunden sein. Bin gespannt wie sich dieser Duncan Taylor im Mai Tai macht."
