The S.B.S 2004 Jamaica 15yo 58.7% 700ml is an exceptional single cask rum from the esteemed 1423's Single Barrel Selection range. Distilled at an undisclosed distillery in Jamaica, this rum has been carefully aged for 15 years in ex-Bourbon casks before being bottled in August 2019. With only 229 bottles in this limited release, it's a must-have for any serious collector or Jamaican rum enthusiast.
This rum stands out with its inviting aromas of green bananas, pineapple, and mango, which lead to a complex palate featuring ripe papaya and banana, along with a characteristic Jamaican funkiness. The flavor profile also includes roasted and fermented notes, a touch of iodine, and woody undertones, rounded off with hints of olive. Despite its robust 58.7% ABV, the S.B.S 2004 Jamaica maintains a balanced and intricate character.
The finish is dry and slightly bitter, with lingering notes of leather, spices, and roasted flavors. Some may find a drop or two of water helps to open up the rum's full range of flavors, though it remains impressively balanced even neat. While it may lack the distinct "wow-factor" of some other Jamaican rums, it compensates with its unique profile and potential for further aging.
No, the distillery is undisclosed, though some speculate it might be from Monymusk or Worthy Park.
