The base is formed with rums from Panama, Guyana, Barbados and the Dominican Republic, all aged between 2 and 5 years. But that's not all, there's also Caroni 19 Years Old and Enmore 27 Years Old. What's that doing in our jamica lineup! And they haven't stopped there: they've added unaged pure pot still Jamaican rum. Funky! On the nose, a blend combining just the right amount of fruitiness (citrus-grapefruit) and rather expressive aromas (Funky). On the palate, it's a blend of Jamaican and overripe fruit notes.
Très bon rapport qualité prix, vraiment excellent
Quite pleasant, also in comparison to the cask- and vat-strength Sample Eleven Extra Matured. The Guyana and Jamaica components compete with each other, sometimes the Jamaica funk wins, sometimes the Guyana aniseed/licorice. We notice that the finish is relatively short, but the intensity on the tongue is pleasantly present for a 44 percenter. For a relatively inexpensive blend, it's very decent considering the price.
A fruity smell, something like a chewy candy, slightly funky. The taste is fruity, slightly sweet, slightly alcoholic finish.
