The Valinch & Mallet 2008 Five Distilleries in Jamaica Cask no.35 Blended Pot Still Rum is a remarkable 14-year-old rum that epitomizes the art of Jamaican rum-making. Distilled in 2008 at five distinct Jamaican distilleries and utilizing iron stills, this exceptional blend has been carefully aged for 14 years. The rum was then expertly blended and bottled in Scotland at a potent 56.9% ABV, with only 262 numbered bottles produced. This limited edition bottling guarantees a truly unique and authentic Jamaican rum experience, free from any reductions or additions.
The blend hails from renowned distilleries such as Hampden, Long Pond, Clarendon, New Yarmouth, and St. Catherine. It offers an intriguing fusion of high-ester richness and tropical fruitiness, creating a robust and adventurous flavor profile. On the nose, the rum presents an alluring array of tropical fruits, cookie dough, menthol, and a hint of glue, adding depth and complexity. The palate reveals an exciting blend of robust esters, tropical fruit, and fermented notes, all complemented by hints of citrus and dark chocolate.
The bottle's label is adorned with artwork by the artist bn+ BRINANOVARA, adding a unique artistic touch to this exceptional bottling. This rum is a true testament to the craftsmanship of rum-making and is a must-try for any rum enthusiast seeking a memorable tasting experience.

This blend is praised for its vibrant and funky nose, which some find more appealing than the palate. The rum is well-balanced with notes of fruits, wood, vanilla, cookie dough, and milk chocolate. While some find it lacking the complexity expected from a blend of multiple distilleries, it is still regarded as a solid and enjoyable Jamaican rum. The esters are prominent but not overwhelming, making it well-suited for sipping or tiki drinks. Despite mixed opinions, it is generally appreciated for its unique character and quality.
