That Boutique-y Rum Company J Gow Batch No.1 2yo 57.2% 500ml is a limited edition rum offering from the renowned That Boutique-y Rum Company, known for their graphic-novel-style labels and distinctive, award-winning spirits. This rum is distilled at J Gow distillery, situated on the quaint isle of Lamb Holm in Orkney, Scotland—a site steeped in pirate lore and run by the distilling maestro Collin van Schayk. Batch No.1 comprises only 220 bottles, making it a coveted gem for rum enthusiasts. This rum has been aged for two years in a harmonious blend of chestnut and virgin oak barrels, which impart a rich complexity to the spirit. The nose reveals an enticing mix of orange zest, medicinal notes, and hints of elderflower, balanced by deeper, sweet ester elements and light touches of smoke. On the palate, experience an orchestra of flavors from tropical fruits and set honey to nutmeg, fresh pastries, and garden herbs. Despite its youth, the 57.2% ABV offers a robust and well-integrated alcohol presence, leading to a finish adorned with caramel, black tea, and a persistent yet pleasant warmth. Overall, this rum displays a depth and completeness that stands up proudly alongside illustrious rums from traditional production regions like Jamaica and Fiji. It is a true testament to the potential of UK-made rums, with a profile that is both multifaceted and enchanting. Limited availability and high demand render this release a must-have for any serious rum collector.
