The Duncan Taylor 2003 Aged in Oak Casks 12yo 52.1% 700ml rum is a delightful creation from the renowned Scottish bottler, Duncan Taylor. This traditional Jamaican rum hails from the Monymusk distillery, known for its rich and complex flavor profiles. Distilled in 2003 and aged in oak casks for 12 years, this limited release of only 194 bottles was bottled in 2015 without reduction, cold filtration, or the addition of coloring or other additives, ensuring a pure and authentic rum experience. Upon first nosing, this rum evokes a captivating blend of Hampden and Worthy Park rums, characterized by a traditional varnish aroma that transitions into a rich, sticky scent profile. The bouquet is exuberant and layered, with prominent notes of overripe banana and exotic fruits, complemented by sweet almond undertones. Swirling the rum in the glass reveals resinous, piney notes, adding a medicinal quality that balances the fruitiness with hints of black fruit and a fresh pear or apple essence. On the palate, this rum is full-bodied and exotically flavored, with a symphony of overripe, fermented fruit that has been cooked down to a luscious, sticky consistency. Fresh, very ripe fruit notes contribute a lively freshness, while subtle smoke and metal nuances linger, coating the mouth until the medium-length finish. The interplay of fruit, resinous, and pastry notes keeps the tasting experience engaging and multifaceted. The Duncan Taylor 2003 Aged in Oak Casks 12yo 52.1% 700ml is an extraordinary example of Jamaican rum, never settling into one flavor profile but continuously shifting and evolving, making each sip a unique journey.
