The Compagnie des Indes 1992 Jamaica 24yo is a limited release rum, distilled in 1992 at the renowned Hampden distillery and bottled by independent bottler Compagnie des Indes after 24 years of aging. This exceptional rum, boasting a robust 59.8% ABV, is produced from molasses using a traditional copper pot still and bears the HLCF mark. Only 293 bottles were produced, making it a rare and sought-after gem among rum enthusiasts.
Upon pouring, the rum releases an intense and captivating aroma, with notes of milky, smoky overripe pineapple, hints of vanilla, pepper, and a slight touch of varnish. As the aroma develops, it becomes more subdued, revealing layers of complexity. On the palate, the rum greets you with a strong alcohol presence, followed by a dry and astringent sensation. The flavors mirror the aroma, delivering a rich and intricate tapestry of woody, pineapple, spicy, and fruity notes. The finish is long-lasting, with the smoky note becoming more prominent, leaving a memorable impression.
This rum is celebrated for its heavy, ester-rich profile, resulting from a lengthy fermentation process using indigenous yeasts and traditional pot still distillation. After aging for 24 years in a single cask, it was imported to Compagnie des Indes' cellars in France and bottled at its natural cask strength of 59.8% without reduction.
The aroma offers enticing notes of cooked fruits, banana, exotic fruits, and butter. On the palate, there is an explosion of flavors, including Victoria pineapple, condensed milk, and roasted almonds. The finish is extraordinary, balancing the rich fruit and wood notes, a testament to its 24 years in the cask. This rum is a true embodiment of balance and complexity, power and delicacy, making it a standout expression from the Hampden distillery.
