The Bristol Classic 2004 Reserve of Haiti is an exceptional rum that boasts a 43% ABV with a volume of 700ml. Distilled at the renowned Barbancourt Distillery in Haiti in 2004, this rum was bottled in 2014 after being aged for 11 years in American oak barrels that previously held Scotch whisky. The aging process was completed in a cool, damp cellar in Bristol, England, which has imparted a unique and enhanced flavor profile to this exquisite spirit. This rum offers an intriguing sensory experience that begins with an initial aroma of milk and exotic fruits, reminiscent of a silk ribbon. This is followed by a subtle pinch of spice, evolving into fuller-bodied, ripe fruits and a hint of crushed red fruits. Upon tasting, the Bristol Classic 2004 Reserve of Haiti reveals a vinosity akin to an old Jura wine, with aromas of ripe fruit and rancio. As it lingers on the palate, it transitions to flavors of melon and ginger. Further aeration unveils a light lemon syrup infused with ginger and herbs, creating a harmonious balance between roundness and freshness. The rum also develops a deep, funky side with distinct flavors of leather, very ripe exotic fruits, and olives in brine. Overall, this rum is complex and multidimensional, offering a delightful sensory journey for the discerning palate.
