The Rum Cask 2001 Jamaica Single Cask 18yo 61.2% 500ml is a highly anticipated release from The Rum Cask, focusing on the renowned Hampden distillery in Jamaica. This specific batch, distilled in 2001 and bottled in 2019, encapsulates the signature high ester profile of Hampden rums. Aged for 18 years in a 190-liter European cask, the rum has developed an extraordinary complexity and depth, which is further enhanced by its cask strength of 61.2% ABV. With only 310 bottles produced, this exclusive release offers an unmatched rum experience.
Upon nosing, the rum reveals an incredibly warm and highly concentrated bouquet of tropical fruits, including fermented pineapple, grapefruit, and citrus marmalade, interspersed with inviting notes of overripe banana. The complexity of the aroma is rounded off by a subtle hint of vanilla and esters. The palate is equally striking, offering a full-bodied, creamy texture with a harmonious blend of sweet and earthy notes. The fruitiness, while initially prominent, gives way to more classic Hampden earthy and spicy nuances, resulting in a wonderfully balanced flavor profile.
The finish is long and memorable, with echoes of leather, dried fruit, and roasted nuts. Hints of meaty and earthy tones, complemented by a touch of vanilla and the barrel’s influence, provide a satisfying conclusion to this exceptional rum. Reviewers have lauded The Rum Cask 2001 Jamaica Single Cask 18yo for its exquisite quality, making it a must-have for aficionados of Hampden rums. The unique aging process and distinct flavor profile justify the higher price point, offering a rewarding and memorable rum experience. Whether enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, this rum is sure to impress and delight connoisseurs of Jamaican rum.
