The S.B.S 2000 Jamaica 16yo 58.9% 700ml is an exquisite expression from the Single Barrel Selection line by 1423 World Class Spirits, an independent Danish bottler renowned for its meticulous curation. Distilled in the revered Hampden distillery in 2000 under the code LROK, this rum matured for 16 years before being bottled in 2016. Limited to only 202 bottles, this unique rum stands out with its robust ABV of 58.9%, offering an intense and rewarding tasting experience. On the nose, it presents a complex bouquet featuring intriguing notes of tar, cinnamon, and vanilla, enriched by a distinctive funk and hints of toffee and rubber. The palate reveals a rich tapestry of flavors, with woody undertones, cinnamon, and a delightful interplay of banana and orange zest. The estery character, coupled with roasted notes and a touch of marzipan and salinity, adds layers of complexity. The finish is warm and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of woody notes, vanilla, and marzipan.
