The Wild Parrot 1994 Jamaica WP 94681 26yo 68.1% 700ml is an impressively aged limited release Jamaican rum, distilled from molasses and column stills. This exceptional rum hails from the renowned New Yarmouth distillery, situated in the parish of Clarendon, which is famously known for producing Wray & Nephew overproof rum. Distilled in 1994, this Jamaican gem has been matured in a single cask for a quarter of a century under the tropical climate before being bottled in 2020, resulting in only 231 bottles available. The rum boasts a dark amber-gold hue and opens with an intense nose characterized by resinous and acidic notes, extremely overripe fruit aromas, glue, caramel, and vanilla. The aromatic complexity continues with subtle hints of anise, fresh mandarin orange, and wood polish. Upon tasting, it surprises with dominant herbal and medicinal flavors, accents of ginger, cinnamon, pineapple, and banana, alongside white pepper and floral undertones. The finish is volatile and spicy, leaving lingering impressions of mint, anise, and spice. While this unique single cask release showcases the bold and extreme characteristics of long-aged Jamaican rum, it has garnered mixed reviews. Some have found it lacking in balance and harmony compared to other New Yarmouth 1994 bottlings, noting a somewhat disjointed profile with unexpected herbal schnapps-like qualities. Nevertheless, it offers a multifaceted rum experience with its rich and concentrated profile.
This limited release consists of only 231 bottles.
