The River Mumma, a Jamaican rum produced at the renowned New Yarmouth distillery, was distilled in 2005 from molasses and meticulously bottled by independent bottler Vidya in 2020. This distinctive cask strength rum, with an ABV of 61.5%, is a celebration of high ester funkiness and complexity, captured in a limited release of just 255 bottles. As you open the bottle, the nose is greeted with an explosion of esters, marzipan, and overripe tropical fruits, including pineapple and mango, intertwined with notes of nail polish, acetone, and subtle hints of oak and honey. On the palate, this rum is a tropical party with intense flavors of bitter orange, passion fruit, and pineapple, accompanied by spices, wood barrel nuances, and a hint of marzipan. A few drops of water reveal even greater complexities, making the rum more approachable and further enhancing the vibrant flavors. The finish is long and satisfying, transitioning smoothly from fruity notes to dark chocolate, candied orange peel, and a hint of spiciness. The Vidya 2005 The River Mumma 15yo is highly esteemed within the rum community for its remarkable balance, ester profile, and the sheer delight it offers to the senses, making it a true gem for any rum enthusiast.
