The Whiskybroker 2000 West Indies Distillery 16yo 57.6% 700ml is an exceptional single cask rum crafted at the renowned West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados. Distilled in June 2000 and bottled on February 9, 2017, this exquisite spirit is part of the second wave of Whiskybroker releases. Emerging from barrel number 18, it has produced only 245 bottles, making it a rare gem for rum connoisseurs. Boasting an impressive ABV of 57.6%, this rum has been aged for 16 years in a highly active cask, contributing to its deep copper hue and the thick pearls that cling to the glass when swirled. Upon nosing, the aroma is a captivating blend of honeycomb, beeswax, smokiness, and medicinal notes, intertwined with almond undertones and a pronounced influence of wood and vanilla. On the palate, the rum delivers a robust and peppery kick with notes of green chilies, peppercorns, and wood smoke, complemented by the warmth of honey and beeswax. Almond milk and a complex array of spices including vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, fennel, and turmeric further enhance the tasting experience. The finish is dry, spicy, and remarkably long-lasting, with lingering hints of pepper, chilies, and medicinal notes. Overall, the Whiskybroker 2000 West Indies Distillery 16yo 57.6% 700ml is a multifaceted and intriguing rum.
