The S.B.S Jamaica 1994 is a 26-year-old single cask rum, distilled at the renowned New Yarmouth distillery in Jamaica and bottled by 1423 World Class Spirits in February 2021. This limited-edition release features only 308 bottles, making it a rare gem for collectors and rum enthusiasts alike.
This molasses-based rum boasts a rich, delicate, and savory profile that sets it apart from other rums. On the nose, it offers tropical aromas of coconut and banana, complemented by toffee and subtle hints of solvents and glue. On the palate, the rum is luscious and creamy, presenting a harmonious blend of coconut, vanilla, dark chocolate, and oak.
Unlike typical Jamaican rums, this S.B.S 1994 variant eschews the usual ester notes, presenting instead an intensely fruity and smooth profile more reminiscent of a funky Guyanan rum. The initial taste is lively with a slight bitterness that evolves into a more structured fruity profile.
Distilled at the New Yarmouth distillery, known for its pot-stills and distillation columns, this rum is a product of the latter, offering a unique and funky character. The flavor profile is enhanced by yellow fruit notes and a soft wood influence, full of vanilla, that provides a candied and pastry-like sweetness.
With aeration, the influence of the American oak cask becomes more pronounced, imparting a woody, rich, and spicy mouthfeel. The finish is long-lasting, with notes of vanilla, blond tobacco, coconut milk, and milk chocolate, creating a comfortable and lingering sensory experience.
Overall, the S.B.S Jamaica 1994 is a rare and exquisite rum that delivers a unique and unforgettable tasting experience, making it a must-have for any rum connoisseur.
