Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Berry Bros & Rudd 1982 Jamaican Rum Cask Ref #12 is a true testament to the artistry of rum-making. Distilled in 1982 and aged for an astonishing 33 years, this exceptional rum offers a rich tapestry of flavors and aromas that only time can bestow. Bottled in 2015, this limited-edition release boasts an ABV of 57% and is available in an exclusive batch of just 225 bottles, making it a prized possession for any connoisseur. Upon pouring, this rum captivates with its stunning balance and complexity. Even after over three decades in the cask, the wood influence is surprisingly subtle, allowing the vibrant notes of fruits and spices to take center stage. The rum presents itself elegantly, drawing beautiful curtains in the glass and leaving a lingering, inviting aroma. Berry Bros & Rudd, a revered name in the world of fine spirits, has once again proven their expertise with this Jamaican gem. The nose opens with a medicinal and leathery profile, interwoven with solvents, woody, vegetal, and refreshing menthol undertones. On the palate, the rum reveals layers of leather, caramel, oak, raisins, chocolate, and a hint of cloves. The flavor journey culminates in a finish that's warm and spicy, enriched with notes of allspice, coffee, black pepper, and a herbal, medicinal edge.
