The Versailles 2006 Single Cask Milano Rum Festival is a distinguished rum originating from the iconic Versailles Distillery in Guyana. With 16 years of meticulous aging, this exclusive release boasts a remarkable ABV of 56.2% and is limited to only 253 bottles, making it a true collector’s item. Selected especially for the Milano Rum Festival, this rum encapsulates the essence of the Demerara profile, featuring an intriguing array of aromas and flavors that excite the senses. On the nose, you are greeted with a tantalizing blend of dried fruit, subtle spices, and distinct wood notes. The presence of prunes, leather, licorice, roasted aromas, and caramel sweetness adds complexity, while a unique mineral note stands out and carries through to the palate. The initial taste reveals a surprising bitter note akin to fruit schnapps, which, upon further contemplation, unfolds into the classic Demerara notes. The palate is a captivating mix of cinnamon, fresh mineral undertones, burnt sugar, and roasted flavors, with a well-integrated alcohol presence that harmonizes with the barrel’s influence. The finish is long and dry, dominated by notes of licorice, oak, woody elements, and mocha, leaving a lasting impression of prunes and roasted nuances. This rum's lighter and cleaner profile compared to older versions like the 1994 releases underscores its unique character and extraordinary drinkability. With its rounded complexity and impeccable aging, the Versailles 2006 Single Cask Milano Rum Festival is a testament to the rich heritage and future promise of REV rums, securing an impressive score of 89/100 from reviewers.
