The Compagnie des Indes 2007 Jamaica 11yo is a distinguished rum, bottled at 43% ABV and presented in a 700ml bottle. This expressive rum is a quintessential example of Jamaican rums, boasting a rich and complex flavor profile. Upon the first sip, one experiences a round and robust taste that begins with red fruit flavors, transitioning to exotic fruits. This is followed by a calvados-like flavor which evolves into an eau-de-vie essence of plums or cherries, complemented by notes of liqueur-filled chocolates. The finish introduces a subtle medicinal quality, reminiscent of a mildly bitter Italian aperitif.
The aroma of this rum is full-bodied and inviting, featuring mature pear and slightly oxidized apple notes, combined with a hint of copper that evokes calvados. The rum's complexity is further highlighted by touches of sweet camphor, a concentrate of herbs, and a slightly grassy note. On the palate, rich and expressive pear flavors are complemented by vanilla, akin to a warm, sugary dessert drizzled with freshly melted chocolate.
Aged for 11 years, this rum hails from the Clarendon distillery, also known as Monymusk, which is associated with the New Yarmouth sugar factory. Located in the southern region of Jamaica, the distillery produces both heavy rums distilled in pot stills after a long fermentation period (2-4 weeks) and lighter rums distilled in columns following a 2-day fermentation.
Aeration enhances the balance of the rum, as the camphor gives way to a creamy calvados with almond notes, reminiscent of a Normandy-style tart. Cherries and their kernels add a touch of indulgence to its unique fruit-forward style, where the fruits are radiant and slightly oxidized yet not overpowering.
The ABV of this rum is 43%.
There were 368 bottles produced.

The reviewers have praised the rum for its warm and fruity aroma, while noting the unexpected presence of wood in the flavor, which is dry and spicy. Some found it reminiscent of grain spirits and sake, contributing to its unique and intriguing profile.
