The Transcontinental Rum Line 2016 Jamaica is a distinguished rum from the esteemed Worthy Park Distillery, renowned for its quality and heritage. This exceptional rum is distilled from molasses using the traditional discontinuous pot still method. The initial maturation phase takes place in Jamaica, where the rum ages for four years in ex-bourbon barrels made of American white oak, imparting a rich and complex profile. Following this, the rum is transported to Europe for an additional year of aging under the supervision of La Maison du Whisky, adding a unique continental touch to its character. Bottled in 2021, this limited-edition rum boasts an impressive alcohol content of 57.18%, promising a robust and flavorful experience.
The aroma and flavor profile of this five-year-old dark rum are nothing short of captivating. Despite its relatively young age, the double maturation process has enriched the rum with a bold and intense aroma and a full-bodied taste. The rum exhibits a distinctively funky character with a noticeable alcoholic bite, encased in fruity and earthy flavors with a sweet undertone. High in ester content and unaltered by chill filtration or added coloring, this authentic Jamaican rum offers a long-lasting and memorable finish. Best enjoyed with a splash of water, the Transcontinental Rum Line 2016 Jamaica encapsulates the essence of Caribbean enjoyment and stands out in the premium segment for high-proof, cask-strength rums.
On the nose, the rum reveals a complex bouquet of dried fruit, black pepper, tobacco, oak spice, soft smoke, chocolate, and cinnamon. The palate is equally intriguing, presenting notes of vanilla, sugar cane, orange, caramel, cream, and baking spices. The finish is persistent and spicy, with lingering flavors of nutmeg, banana, and oak, affirming the rum's majestic depth and intensity.
No, the rum undergoes a two-stage aging process. It is initially aged for four years in Jamaica and then transported to Europe for an additional year of aging under the care of La Maison du Whisky.
