If I had tasted this blind, I would not have pegged it as Jamaican rum. In fact, I may not have pegged it as rum at all. It smells and drinks more like a bourbon finished in rum and wine casks. Cask 2, bottle 139. Vanilla, caramel and red wine aplenty on the nose. Buttery entry on the palate, more vanilla, caramel, red wine, baking and barrel spices plus hints of tropical fruits. The medium finish starts with a bitter note which quickly dissipates leaving, at last, what reminds me of spiced rum to slowly fade away.
