The Duncan Taylor 2000 Aged in Oak Casks 15yo rum is a distinguished product of the Long Pond distillery in Jamaica, bottled by the renowned Scottish independent bottler Duncan Taylor. This remarkable rum was laid down in casks in the year 2000 and meticulously bottled in 2015 without any reduction, cold filtration, or the addition of coloring or other additives. With only 270 bottles produced, this is a rare gem for rum enthusiasts. This Jamaican rum captivates with its characteristic solvent aroma, a signature trait of rums from the island. It quickly evolves into an exotic medley featuring overripe papaya, persimmon, pineapple, and mango. Despite its powerful profile, it reveals a surprisingly docile and creamy nature. The nose offers scents of macerated fruits and pear or plum eaux-de-vie, infused with a comforting milk almond balm. Notes of dried fruits and raisins contribute to this comforting sensation, making it a true Jamaican delight. Although fermented exotic fruits can sometimes impart a certain acidity, in this case, it enhances the fruity sensation without overwhelming it. When swirled in the glass, the fruits burst forth in an almost pyrotechnic display of acidity. On the palate, the initial attack is soft; despite its cask strength, the rum maintains a reasonable alcohol level. The fruitiness remains, but with a more refined and precise character. Pineapple stands out, encapsulating the fruity, heady, acidic, and fresh elements typical of exotic fruits. For the first time, smoky and metallic notes—hallmarks of the Long Pond distillery—make an entrance and linger compellingly. The nose and palate each reveal different aspects of Jamaica. The nose is predominantly fruity and creamy, while the palate introduces more metallic and smoky notes. The finish is long, reaffirming the Jamaican origin of the rum. It unfolds with a blend of olives, aged exotic fruits, and metallic nuances.
