A rare gem from the Clarendon Estate, the 2004 Watt Rum Jamaican 16yo was crafted with meticulous care by indie bottler Watt Whisky. This exquisite rum has been matured in a single barrel for 16 years, culminating in its bottling in 2021. Only 288 bottles exist, marking it as a true collector's item. With an ABV of 57.1%, this rum promises an intense and captivating experience, housed in a 700ml vessel. The nose greets you with an industrial profile featuring sparse dried fruits and lemon zest. The wood's active role brings forth layers of char, burnt sugar, cigar box, and balsamic influences. As you delve deeper, sweet licorice evolves into glue stick and light petrol notes, reminiscent of an automotive factory. Subsequent whiffs unveil salty sea wind, menthol, red wine tannins, and an old hay barn ambiance. On the palate, this rum takes an unexpected turn, presenting a sweeter, less oily, and more refined experience. Dried fruits persist, now accompanied by red apple. The licorice transforms to a more streamlined anise, and the wet forest morphs into dry oak. Hints of glue, brine, and tannins make an appearance, although they are more subdued compared to the nose. The finish is sweet yet crisp, with lingering notes of apple and light petrol, offering a complex and multifaceted flavor profile. Prominent notes of menthol, burnt sugar, and bitter elements coexist with cocoa, blackberry, and wood nuances, culminating in a metallic, leathery, caramelized, and slightly bitter finish with a hint of apple.
