Rum Nation's 1997 Jamaica 26yo is a special edition Supreme Lord II rum, aged for an impressive 26 years. Distilled in 1997 at the renowned Long Pond Distillery, this small-batch, single-domain bottling was carefully crafted to showcase the unique character of the pot still used in its production. Bottled in 2023 at 45% ABV, this rum exudes a rich, dark gold hue, reminiscent of light amber. Upon nosing, the rum reveals enticing aromas of grilled pineapple, subtle grassy notes, and hints of orange, all underscored by the clear Wedderburn profile that Long Pond rums are known for. The palate offers a complex array of flavors, including nuts, straw, light oak, anise, and a slight sweetness evocative of the Plantation Jamaica Single Cask 1983. The experience culminates in a dry, long-lasting finish that is dominated by anise and walnut notes. Despite its 26-year aging period, the rum remains remarkably youthful, presenting a well-rounded and mature profile. Reviewer Flo praises the Supreme Lord II as a standout representation of Long Pond's unique characteristics. Flo notes its departure from the typical flavor profile while maintaining the essence of the distillery. While the premium price point is acknowledged, Flo commends the rum for its exceptional aging process and overall quality, suggesting that a slightly higher alcohol content could have further enhanced the experience. Ultimately, the Rum Nation 1997 Jamaica 26yo 45% ABV is hailed as a top-tier bottling deserving of high acclaim.
