Rum Nation 2002 Versailles Cask No. 804864-65 is a stellar release from the renowned Rum Nation brand. Distilled in 2002 at the Versailles distillery in the rum-rich region of Guyana, this rum was aged for 18 years before being bottled in 2020. With only 225 bottles available, this limited edition rum is a true gem for collectors and connoisseurs alike. Boasting a robust 58% ABV, this 700ml bottle promises a dynamic and potent tasting experience.
Upon pouring, it's recommended to let the rum rest for at least 15 minutes, and to consider adding a few drops of water to truly unlock its intricate flavors. The nose presents a well-balanced bouquet of raisin, dark chocolate, prunes, molasses, and licorice. On the palate, the rum initially offers a lightly bitter and alcoholic profile if not sufficiently rested. However, allowing it to breathe enhances its complex layers of wood, fruit, molasses, and licorice, complemented by a subtle herbal note. Spiciness lingers on the palate, adding an extra dimension to the experience. The finish is long and warm, featuring prominent notes of wood, dried fruit, and dark chocolate.
