Thompson Brothers 2000 Bar Tre Hiroshima 17yo 55.1% 700ml is a distinguished rum release from the reputable Thompson Brothers, known for their high-quality and surprising selections. This exquisite bottling hails from the renowned Hampden Distillery in Jamaica and has been aged for an impressive 17 years. Distilled in the year 2000 and bottled in 2017, this rum boasts a robust ABV of 55.1% and is presented in a 700ml bottle. Limited to just 185 bottles, this edition is a rare find for rum aficionados.
The rum features a light gold color and offers a complex and powerful aroma profile with enticing notes of caramelized pineapples, vanilla, black olives, and grilled sardines, complemented by intriguing iodized hints. On the palate, one can taste a refined blend of exotic fruits, including pineapples and mangoes, along with sugar, wood, fish oil, and candied lemons. The flavor journey concludes with a long and slightly bitter finish, characterized by nuances of vanilla, burnt wood, and grapefruit.
The Excellence Rhum version of this release impressed reviewers with its expressive nose of peaches and overripe papayas, followed by flavors of mangoes, ripe bananas, and wood. This expression was noted for its thick texture and a long finish featuring vanilla, smoke, and mint. By contrast, the Berry Bro's Hampden TWB 2000 edition presented a more powerful and astringent profile, with notes of fuel, leather, and candied fruits leading to a drying finish with dark smoke and eucalyptus hints. Despite the unique profiles, the Excellence Rhum bottling stood out as the preferred choice for its exceptional flavor balance.
Overall, the 2000 vintage of Thompson Brothers 2000 Bar Tre Hiroshima 17yo offers a range of intriguing and complex flavors, though some might find it somewhat average compared to other releases.
