The Dillon 2003 Single Cask rum is a distinguished 15-year-old vintage that has been meticulously aged in a 350-liter French oak cask, resulting in a complex and powerful aromatic profile. This rum, with its luxurious woodiness, leaves a lasting impression on the palate, allowing the tannins to gently coat the taste buds. The uniquely agricultural pepperiness is derived from a blend of colored and exotic spice berries, while dried fruits such as apricots, prunes, and a selection of exotic fruits like mango, papaya, and pineapple have been expertly infused into the oak. Upon aeration, the generous fruitiness remains, with the oak becoming more prominent, revealing intricate notes of wax, exotic essences, and a hint of solvent, indicative of its delightful concentration. The palate is treated to a harmonious balance of fruitiness, oak, and a subtle minerality, all coming together in a symphony of flavors. Despite being reduced to 43% ABV, the rum's aromatic intensity remains undiminished, offering notes of papaya, white peach, and apricot, delicate oak (mahogany), and a soft attack that transitions to a long, mineral-rich finish. This rum is truly a masterpiece. Although Dillon is often associated with supermarkets, the distillery has now established its own creole column and aging cellar at the foot of Mount Pelee, situated alongside Depaz. This rum represents a delightful marriage of indulgent sweetness and serious depth, making it a truly enjoyable experience for any rum connoisseur.

Overall: Dillon 2003 Single Cask offers a rich and multifaceted rum experience, characterized by its complex aroma, balanced taste, and lingering finish.
Enthusiasts appreciate the seductive and fragrant nose that is predominantly fruity, particularly with candied fruits. The rum also has a seductive woody aroma and a hint of pepper, all enveloped in a touch of honey. On the palate, it is dense and perfectly balanced, showcasing a beautiful bouquet of candied fruits and a suave empyreumatic profile (tobacco, wood). The finish is slightly spicier, making it more invigorating. Another reviewer notes its fine pearlescence in the glass and its beautiful color. The complex nose features licorice and wood, evolving into a fruity aroma with time. The taste is rounded with a hint of sharpness, dominated by spices, and the finish is dry with a grassy note. This rum is pleasantly mild and dry, suitable as both an aperitif and a digestif.
