The S.B.S 2004 Venezuela 14yo rum bottle is a traditional molasses rum distilled in 2004 by C.A.C.D., a renowned distillery located in San Felipe, Venezuela. This exquisite rum exhibits a robust, toasted, and slightly bitter character with pronounced notes of torrefaction, caramel, and a hint of menthol. The nose is intricately complex, featuring resinous aromas, a medicinal note, bitter herbs, and licorice, all nestled in a smoky atmosphere. As the rum aerates, the smoke dissipates, unveiling a mature and spicy oakiness, with a consistent and solid texture that is finely balanced—not overly tannic nor overly smooth. Fine vegetal and fruity nuances dance against a toasted backdrop, offering a well-balanced profile. Bottled in Denmark in March 2018 at cask strength without cold filtration or reduction, this rum, despite its high proof of 58.9%, maintains a light character with a pleasant concentration of flavors. This rum is distinguished by its deep, dark color and intense aroma, both powerful and balanced, making it an excellent choice for rum connoisseurs.
To fully appreciate this rum, it should be rested for at least 15 minutes to even out its high proof. For an enhanced experience, let it rest for 30 minutes to unlock a broader array of flavors. Adding a few drops of water can also significantly enhance its taste.
