That Boutique-y Rum Company 2008 Blended #1 Jamaica 9yo is a unique and exceptional blend of both Pot and Column still rums. Sourced from renowned Jamaican distilleries like Long Pond, New Yarmouth, Clarendon, and the enigmatic distillery from Lluidas Vale (speculated to be Worthy Park), this blend is a testament to the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Jamaican rum production. Bottled in 2017, this 9-year-old rum boasts an impressive ABV of 55%. With only 486 bottles released, it is a coveted gem for rum enthusiasts.
The vibrant bottle design, featuring a skull and crossbones, hints at the bold and adventurous spirit of the rum inside. The nose opens with an enticing array of bright tropical fruit notes, including banana, guava, mango, and papaya, complemented by ethereal hints of ethyl acetate, grilled pineapple, and white wine from New Yarmouth. On the palate, this rum delivers a delightful complexity, starting with a tropical fruit jam sweetness that evolves into spiced oak, vanilla, salted caramel, and molasses. The finish is sharp and persistent, with grilled pineapple, fresh papaya, and a lingering peppery oak note.
Reviewers have praised the nuanced and captivating nose of this rum, often likening it to the experience of savoring individual distillates. While the palate may not reach the same heights as the nose, it remains superb and versatile, making it an excellent choice for both sipping and creating innovative cocktails.
