Selected by the esteemed independent bottler, The Colours of Rum, this masterful spirit was distilled in 1996 using a Single Wooden Pot Still and meticulously aged for 25 years in Jamaica’s tropical climate. This limited release, boasting an impressive 67% ABV, comprises only 253 bottles, making it a rare gem for rum enthusiasts. Upon pouring, this rum reveals a rich dark golden hue, indicative of its prolonged aging in American Oak barrels. The nose is greeted with an exotic and fruity bouquet, featuring captivating notes of lychee, mango, caramel, and red fruits, intertwined with hints of resinous plasticine and black banana. The palate offers a harmonious balance of intense flavors, including lychee juice, coffee bitterness, wood, spice, iodine, caramel, plums, leather, and walnuts, leading to a long and delicious finish. Reviewers have highly rated this edition for its complexity and exceptional taste profile, citing the intriguing blend of minty, spicy, and roasted aromas, complemented by the well-integrated ABV.
