Nose - overripe banana, spoiled cream, vanilla, molasses, charred orange, fusel notes, white pepper, allspice, cardamom, pineapple, mango, moderate to high ethanol burn. Taste - pineapple, orange, overripe banana, vanilla cream, molasses, lemon, lime, ginger, white pepper, olive brine, fusel notes, cinnamon, allspice, moderate alcohol bite, finishing long with pineapple, lemon oil, and fusel flavors. If there was any doubt about this rum’s provenance, unscrewing the cap on my sample immediately put that to rest. This screams Jamaica. Funk, hogo, fusel oils. Whatever you want to call it, this has it all. It’s rotten and elegant at the same time, which is the way I like my Jamaican rums. The nose and palate are fairly synced and dominated by spoiled tropical fruit, citrus oils, spiced molasses, and some vegetal olive brine notes. And the finish lingers deliciously for minutes. This is excellent rum. It’s certainly the best Jamaican I’ve tried, although it tastes younger and brighter than I would have expected after aging for 19 years in the Caribbean. Nonetheless, I would happily drink this anytime I want to get slapped around a bit. A big thank you to @PBMichiganWolverine for providing the generous sample!
