Sansibar 2000 Jamaica 17yo 47.4% 700ml is a distinctive rum bottled by Sansibar, a brand renowned for its diverse range of offerings including food, wine, and clothing. This particular expression hails from the Hampden distillery in Jamaica, known for its high-ester rums. Bottled in 2017, this 17-year-old rum carries the Long Pond Wedderburn style, featuring LROK esters in the range of 200-400 g/hlaa, lending it a unique continental flavor profile. Despite Sansibar's reputation and the anticipation surrounding this release, the experience falls short of expectations. The nose is dominated by overpowering acetone notes, making it challenging for the fruity aromas of citrus, pineapple, and fresh herbs to shine through. The palate presents a slightly improved grassy profile with hints of canned fruits like sweetened pears, but the expected herbal transformation remains absent. The finish is particularly disappointing, failing to meet the promise of the initial impressions. With only 120 bottles available, this limited release, unfortunately, does not live up to the high standards set by other expressions from the brand, such as Schwarz and The Rum Cask.
The ABV of this rum is 47.4%.

Despite the promising elements and the prestigious Hampden distillery's involvement, Sansibar 2000 Jamaica 17yo 47.4% 700ml does not deliver the full-bodied, flavorful experience one might expect. The overpowering acetone notes on the nose and the disappointing finish result in an overall underwhelming experience. For those seeking a more rewarding Jamaican rum, exploring alternatives like Schwarz and The Rum Cask is recommended.
