The Duncan Taylor 2000 Aged in Oak Casks 15yo 52.4% 700ml is a distinguished rum from the Long Pond Distillery in Jamaica, bottled by the renowned Duncan Taylor brand. This exquisite rum was distilled in 2000 and bottled in 2015, with only 249 bottles available, making it a rare find. Aged for 15 years in oak casks, this rum was bottled without reduction, cold filtration, or any additives, ensuring its pure and authentic flavor profile. On the nose, this rum is rich and complex, greeting you with an inviting bouquet of raisins, dried fruits, cherries, oranges, and herbs. There are underlying liqueur-like and nutty tones that add a layer of sweetness. With aeration, it evolves, showing characteristics reminiscent of Port Mourant or Fiji rums, featuring ripe exotic fruits and a slight metallic edge. The palate is bold and intense, echoing the richness of the nose. The tannins from black fruits like blackcurrant, blackberry, and prunes create a precise and delicate profile. Hints of leather and smoke transition seamlessly into ripe exotic fruits and molasses. The molasses is well-balanced, offering smoky and mineral qualities with a subtle note of smoked meat. Despite these robust flavors, the presence of ripe exotic fruits and candied orange adds a decadent, pastry-like quality to the rum. The finish is long and satisfying, with a blend of rosemary, raisins, and nuts, culminating in a rich and decadent syrup that encapsulates the rum's complexity. This rum is particularly appealing to both whisky enthusiasts and those who enjoy lightly smoked rums, making it a versatile and intriguing choice for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
