Distilled in 1998 at the renowned Hampden Estate distillery in Jamaica, The Wild Parrot 1998 Trelawny 20-Year-Old is an exceptional single cask rum bottled by the independent bottler, The Wild Parrot. With an impressive ABV of 63.1%, this rum promises a robust and unforgettable experience. Limited to only 265 bottles, this 700ml rarity boasts a vibrant, tropical fruit character masterfully balanced with rich, oaky spice. The additional year of maturation has imparted a deeper character to this twin cask, further highlighting its intensity and complexity. On the nose, one is immediately greeted by ripe tropical fruits, a camphorated freshness, and notes reminiscent of wax and tobacco, all interwoven with enticing spices. The aroma is both captivating and well-controlled. On the palate, this rum reveals a lively and distinct profile marked by olive and brine, soon giving way to prominent pineapple notes. Despite its 20 years of aging, there's minimal wood influence, serving primarily to structure the overall profile. The pastry-like scents are less pronounced, allowing the intriguing olive-pineapple combination to take center stage. The finish is beautiful and rather long, resonating with a funky character and notes of overripe fruits. This Jamaican gem is a true delight.
