Silver Seal 1992 Jamaica Rum is Nature 23yo 50% 700ml is a unique rum from the renowned Hampden distillery in Jamaica, a distillery known for rigorously preserving its traditions. Hampden Distillery, positioned in the Northwest of Jamaica, excels in the production of high-ester rums, enhancing their profile through a process called dunder addition. This method involves adding a mixture of distillate residues and organic matter, exposed to the open air for months, to the fermenting mixture, resulting in powerful aromas, acids, and bacteria that contribute to the final rum's complex profile. This specific bottling, aged for 23 years and distilled in pot stills, was carefully bottled in Scotland by the Italian bottler Silver Seal as part of the "Rum is Nature 2016" series. With an ABV of 50% and a limited release of only 248 bottles, this rum offers a balanced combination of fruity esters and oak influence from the cask. The aroma is rich with notes of marzipan, orange, pineapple, and pastry, complemented by hints of spices and fusel oils. The palate reveals flavors of citrus fruits, cherries, olives, and wood chips, leading to a long finish with a minty touch and a drying effect that keeps one yearning for more. One reviewer highlighted that the dilution at 50% ABV is perfect, allowing the complex flavors to shine through without overwhelming the palate. The sweeter, pastry-like notes were particularly enjoyable, adding depth to the overall experience. Another reviewer compared this bottling to other high-ester rums from different vintages and noted that, while it may not be as legendary as some, it still offers a highly enjoyable and mature drinking experience. Overall, the Silver Seal 1992 Jamaica Rum is Nature 23yo 50% 700ml is recommended for any rum enthusiast looking to explore the unique and elegant expressions of Hampden rum.
