Rum Nation 2007 Jamaica Oloroso Sherry Finish 8yo 50% 700ml is a sophisticated and accessible expression of Jamaican rum, offering a delightful balance of deliciousness, distinction, and depth. This rum is a result of years of research and tasting by Fabio Rossi, who aimed to introduce new terroirs to rum enthusiasts. Distilled at the renowned Worthy Park distillery in St. Catherine, Jamaica in 2007, this rum was bottled in 2015. The rum is characterized by its traditional Jamaican production, featuring a slow fermentation process that imparts intense aromas and distillation in a pot still. The result is a rum that pleases the palate with genuine complexity while avoiding excessive smoothness. The nose reveals the quintessential Jamaican banana, with a very ripe, extremely greedy character, complemented by a funky pot still distillation and a freshness that harmonizes well with the banana. Medicinal notes of pine thorns oozing with resin and candied cherry add complexity. As the rum breathes, it gains power, with the banana becoming more refined and adorned with wood, spice, vegetal, and liquorice notes. The palate is initially powerful, revealing smoky notes and a metallic touch, accompanied by cocoa, black liquorice, and overripe banana with blackened skin. Dried currants contribute to a darker and deeper impression than the nose suggests. This rum undergoes initial aging in ex-bourbon casks, followed by 15-18 months of maturation in Oloroso sherry casks. A portion of the rum is then further aged in Pedro Ximenez casks before final blending. The aging process results in a rum with a rich, gourmet profile, including notes of tea, brioche yeast, honey, almond paste, and a variety of plants and herbs that maintain the rum's medicinal side. The palate is treated to a delightful combination of bois, levure de brioche, thé, and tanins, creating a balance of gourmandise and seriousness, as well as a touch of nostalgia and sophistication. In summary, Rum Nation 2007 Jamaica Oloroso Sherry Finish 8yo 50% 700ml is a complex, well-balanced, and enjoyable rum that combines the unique character of Jamaican terroir with the refinement of sherry cask aging. A fantastic introduction to the world of Jamaican rums, in this case, the exuberance is rounded by the sherry finish. A perfect rum for whisky drinkers who want to try something different.
