The S.B.S 2013 Jamaica Bourbon and Brandy Cask Matured is an exceptional, limited-release Jamaican rum distilled in 2013 using a Pot Still and aged for 8 years. Produced from Molasses at Worthy Park, Jamaica's oldest distillery, this rum boasts a 46% ABV and is presented in a 700ml bottle. With only 859 bottles released, it stands as a rare and highly sought-after spirit. This full-bodied and caramelized rum offers a distinctive blend of flavors and aromas, reminiscent of both British Navy rum and traditional English rum. Initially, it exudes a full-bodied, powdery, and coppery note that transitions to a softer, more pastry-like horizon, with hints of bitter almond, cream, and grapes. Aeration further enhances the sweet spices and pastry flavors, evolving into a banana muffin aroma with notes of star anise, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a subtle hint of coffee. The rum underwent initial maturation in ex-Bourbon American oak barrels, followed by a secondary maturation in Brandy casks, which imparted it with a floral and fruity character. The nose is filled with aromas of brimstone, brown sugar, freshly-baked pastries, and toasted oak, complemented by notes of salted caramel, black pepper, summer flowers, and hints of smoke throughout the palate. This single cask selection by the Danish company, 1423, was bottled in October 2021 without cold filtration, preserving the spirit's unique character and complexity. It serves as an excellent entry point for beginners eager to explore Jamaican rums and a must-have for passionate collectors.
