Green Island Tilambic 151 Overproof Aged Mauritian 75.5% 700ml is a formidable high-proof rum from the island of Mauritius. This exceptional spirit is meticulously produced and bottled under license for Green Island (UK) Limited by International Distillers Mauritius. The name "Tilambic" is a Mauritian Creole word that refers to small stills used by farmers to craft their own rums. This rum is distilled in 30 ft column stills and then aged for up to seven years in ex-whisky barrels under controlled conditions, resulting in a naturally golden color derived solely from the casks, with no added sugars, flavorings, or colorings. Upon pouring, Green Island Tilambic 151 reveals a light golden hue and releases a woody aroma complemented by peppery spice, prune, and subtle hints of vanilla. Its taste profile begins with an enticing sweetness and peppery spice, reminiscent of star anise found in Green Island Superior Light, followed by an oakiness that dries out the rum in a bourbon-esque manner. The mouthfeel is notably hot towards the end due to the high proof, with notes of vanilla and caramel leading to a short and very dry finish governed by the oak. While it is surprisingly drinkable, it is best enjoyed in cocktails or with a splash of water to enhance its complexity. Overall, Green Island Tilambic 151 delivers concentrated flavors and a significant oaky character that commands respect due to its high proof. Although not suited for sipping neat, it stands out as a flavorful and surprisingly light option for those seeking a 151 proof rum with depth and complexity, making it an excellent choice when handled with caution and mixed creatively in cocktails.
