Introducing "The Golden Age of Piracy Charles Vane," a 38-year-old Jamaican rum distilled in 1983 at the Long Pond distillery and bottled by the independent bottler Distilia. This limited release gem, with only 108 bottles in existence, boasts an ABV of 52.3% and offers an enticing combination of tropical fruit, intense esters, and a hint of smokiness. The nose presents an incredibly complex and deep profile with notes of pineapple, banana, mango, papaya, phenolic glue, sweet marzipan, tobacco, and a faint touch of tea and wood. On the palate, an incredible roundness likened to milk envelops you with a blend of tropical fruits such as papaya and mango, accompanied by nutty notes, pastries, and a delicate spice. Some community members have likened its profile to Hampden bottlings, praising its rich complexity and balance. This rum's character is underscored by a powerful attack, balancing oily textures with tropical fruits, red apples, grapes, bananas, roasted almonds, and a kick of white pepper. The finish is practically eternal, revealing a tapestry of fruit flavors alongside leather, vanilla, and hints of spices and smokiness. This Long Pond bottling is a symphony of flavors, making it a must-try for any serious rum enthusiast. A veritable liquid treasure, this Long Pond belongs in the pantheon of rums, capturing the essence of the Golden Age of Piracy.
