The Compagnie des Indes 2008 Jamaica 10yo is an exquisite rum crafted by the renowned French company, Compagnie des Indes. This exceptional spirit is the result of a collaboration between several distinguished Jamaican distilleries, including Long Pond, Monymusk, New Yarmouth, and a secret distillery. The distillation process blends both column and pot still methods, with each distillate aged for varying lengths of time: Long Pond Rum from 2005, Monymusk from 2007, New Yarmouth from 2005, and a final Jamaican rum from an unknown distillery distilled in 2008.
This rum, bottled in 2018, boasts a robust and intense flavor profile, characteristic of traditional Jamaican rums. With an average age of ten years, it offers a delightful aroma of cake dough, chocolate, rum balls, tropical fruits, tar, and ester notes, complemented by hints of citrus fruits and vanilla. On the palate, the taste is a harmonious blend of overripe exotic fruits, yeast, cherry stone, almond paste, and a concentrated prune, cherry, and plum jam, all culminating in a molasses finish.
As a limited edition with only 1,098 bottles produced and an ABV of 44%, this rum is not bottled at cask strength but should not be underestimated. The Long Pond style is most prominent, showcasing very ripe exotic fruits and oxydes. This beautiful blend retains the full force and aromatic intensity of Jamaican rums, offering a taste of Jamaica's unique 'madness' in an accessible way through well-judged reduction.

The Compagnie des Indes 2008 Jamaica 10yo is appreciated for its delightful nose and aromatic complexity, although some find it a bit light and thin due to dilution. Many reviewers enjoy its typical Jamaican estery flavors and consider it a lovely daily sipper. While some expected more depth given its 10-year aging, it remains a well-balanced and enjoyable rum, offering excellent value for its price.
