The Masam 2008 Silvano's Collection MCJB Hampden Jamaica Rum is an exceptional rum, hand-selected by the Italian independent bottler, formerly run by Silvano Samaroli and now continued by his wife, Maryse Samaroli. This rum is a blend of Jamaican rums distilled in 2008 by Hampden, in both column and pot stills, and then aged for 13 years in oak casks in Scotland.
This rum offers a unique and exotic flavor profile, with a fruity, solvent-like aroma that gives way to an explosion of ripe, candied banana and sweet spices. The heart of the rum is heavy, with notes of very ripe exotic fruits, enhanced by a slight hint of soy sauce. With aeration and rest, the rum develops a pastry aspect, becoming quiet and balanced, with a caramelized baba soaked in well-flavored rum, full of exotic candied fruits.
The rum has a smooth and balanced mouthfeel, with a small coppery and astringent touch that is quite typical of its tradition. The very ripe exotic fruits are laid on top of roasted nuts, which bring a little oxidized air, reminiscent of molasses-tinged coffee. Overall, this rum is a true expression of the funky soul of Jamaica, and is a must-try for any rum enthusiast.
