The Hee Joy Origins 40% 700ml rum bottle is an exquisite blend of traditional English rums, meticulously crafted from three renowned rum-producing countries: Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, and Guyana. This masterful blend consists of 40% Jamaican rum, celebrated for its robustness; 40% Trinidad & Tobago rum, noted for its intense flavor; and 20% Guyana rum, renowned for its complexity. Each of these rums is aged between 3-5 years in their respective countries of origin, utilizing ex-bourbon casks for the Jamaican rum, and both used and new American oak casks for the other two varieties.
Following the aging process, these rums are transported to the illustrious Cognac region of France. Here, they are carefully reduced to 40% alcohol by volume and expertly blended. The resulting blend undergoes further maturation in oak barrels that have previously held cognac for over 20 years, imbuing the rum with unique and sophisticated characteristics.
On the nose, Hee Joy Origins rum presents a sweet and complex bouquet, featuring notes of vanilla, soft spices, and hints of cherry and orange peel. The influence of the cognac barrel is immediately evident with additional layers of honey, yellow fruit, molasses, elegant wood, and wax. The palate opens with a dry profile, highlighted by dark caramel and tannic woodiness. This evolves into flavors of ripe exotic fruits, prunes, and a juicy stick of liquorice. The finish is warm and extended, revealing more molasses, coffee, and liquorice, along with nuances of honey and cane syrup.
Overall, Hee Joy Origins 40% 700ml is a well-balanced and sophisticated rum, offering a sweet and spicy nose, a dry and fruity palate, and a long, molasses-forward finish.
