How does this rum taste?
Versailles Still KFM, distilled at Diamond distillery in 2002, is a Guyanese rum aged for 16 years with a 54.3% ABV, bottled by That Boutique-Y Rum Company. With limited availability of 578 bottles, it features a unique profile differing from typical Versailles rums. It opens with prunes and herbal notes on the nose, transitioning to woody and spicy flavors with hints of anise and honey. Users appreciate its complexity and fruity character but note a dominant wood influence. The rum demands some resting time to reveal its full bouquet of flavors, which include fresh apple and pear tones, merging with a sweet, chocolaty finish. This rum is a complex experience for those who appreciate distinctive, craft spirits.

The bottle definitely needed some time to breath/settle in/how ever you want to call it. Still the KFM profile is quite different from other Versailles (especially at this comparably young age) with more fresh notes ie green apple and pear on the nose. Compared to the 2002 TCRL KFM, this one feels more dark and dominated by wood notes. Also I tend to prefer the fruitnotes in this one, leaning more towards red/dried fruits in my mind. Both surprisingly so, as the TBRC is two years younger and bottled at significantly lower ABV.
Great bottling. Needs some time in the glass, then shows a nice mix of fruit, honey, chocolate and wood. Wood influence is already amazingly present
This is not for me a typical kfm. Despite the 16 years, it seems fresh and fruity and less spicy-woody-roasty.First I have to think of grappa and have grape with quite a lot of green apple in the nose. The freshness also comes from lemon. Behind that I detect an almost floral honey sweetness. Young wood brings in some spice and out the back it seems almost herbal. Not incredibly complex, but that doesn't make it complicated either.Palate: yes, we're getting closer to a Diamond here. Forebodingly bitter, spicy and toasty. Seems a bit artificial and burnt with decent salty iodine, some maggi and anise. Neatly peppery as well. The fruit recedes somewhat behind it, but finds itself green apple.Solid in the end, but not a good representative of its kind.
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 nice rum where the price matches the quality. Needs to rest and the wood is almost too dominant. Medium fruity with a spicy palate and a long finish. The wood was on my palate for a very long time.
