The Toucan 2017 Vieux Rhum #2 is a premium rum hailing from Guyana, presented by the esteemed brand Toucan. This exceptional rum, with a limited release of only 1200 bottles, boasts an ABV of 48% and comes in a 500ml bottle. Known for its soft and silky texture, the Toucan 2017 Vieux Rhum #2 offers an exquisite taste experience that begins with the sweetness of ripe fruits, blending seamlessly with smooth, syrup-like consistency. The sophisticated woodiness contributes to its mellow profile, enriched with sweet and greedy spices. Mid-palate, the presence of cane and a touch of pepper introduce a subtle warmth that enhances the overall flavor journey.
Upon opening, the rum reveals a round and delicate woodiness, intertwined with tender notes of vanilla and blond tobacco. The well-candied ripe cane, paired with sweet spices, leads to fruity notes of candied citrus and ripe mirabelle plum. As the rum aerates, the fruit profile evolves to include dried fruits like apricot and mango, all enveloped by fine and delicate spices, bringing back the delightful woody flavor synonymous with this rum.
On the palate, the Toucan 2017 Vieux Rhum #2 presents a nice intensity with an aromatic profile that mirrors the nose. Initial notes of vanilla are followed by nuts, white grape, and a comforting toasted bread nuance. A hint of pepper adds vibrancy, while the woodiness becomes more pronounced with old wood and nutmeg as the tasting progresses. The mouthfeel is round and reasonably sweet, maintaining a balance that appeals to many.
The nose offers a slightly buttery start, showcasing the influence of aging in French casks, leading to generous woody and nutty notes. Hints of white grape, vanilla, liquorice, and apple with a touch of lemon add freshness. The presence of pepper from the cane is discernible, contributing to an interesting complexity despite the rum's relatively young age. The finish, although slightly short, remains intriguing with lingering notes of white grape, liquorice, nutmeg, and pepper, accompanied by a subtle bitterness.
This rum is a delicate and refined offering, with mature fruit and weathered sugar cane flavors that are highly sought after by connoisseurs.
