The Hee Joy 2008 Jamaica Single Cask 10yo rum is a smooth and fluid spirit, with a rich and exotic flavor profile. Distilled in Jamaica, an island renowned for its aromatic rums produced using traditional methods, this rum is a testament to the mastery of Jamaican distillation. The spirit is aged for 10 years in ex-bourbon barrels, followed by an additional 6 months of aging in vintage XO cognac barrels within the Hee Joy cellars in Chevanceaux, Charente Maritime.
With an ABV of 43%, this rum offers a taste of Jamaican confectionery, featuring flavors of ripe banana and yeast. Additional exotic fruits come through in a fragrant, slightly acidic syrup, while the oak aging imparts melted tannins and sweet aromas. Upon aeration, the rum develops a floral character, showcasing notes of white flowers and lychee. A slight pastry note of fruits and almonds rounds out the luxurious and complex flavor profile.
This rum is a celebration of the magnificent terroir of Jamaica and is sure to delight rum enthusiasts with its complex and exotic flavor profile. With only 2,797 bottles available, it’s a limited-edition treasure for discerning collectors and connoisseurs.

This rum is a pleasant surprise! Initially, expectations were low, but the fruit palette it offers is superb. The nose is typically Jamaican and a delight to experience. Although the taste falls slightly short and the price is relatively high for such a rum, the bouquet of fruit can be worth the detour. The nose is very fruity, the palate is malty with some esters, and the finish is also on cereals, providing a very pleasant roundness.
