My god, how tight was that cask. 25 years old and over 60% abv!!! Unbelievable! I asked for some to be bottled at cask strength, just like last years Caroni Trinidad bottling they did, because just like that one, this was one hell of a ride, but unfortunately they had already cut it to 46%, so unfortunately you won’t have the pleasure of experiencing it neat. Mind in saying that at 46% it is amazingly good!
An intense, pungent and oily nose. Quite Guyanan in character but the bold molasses and Jamaican sweetness comes through. With time it becomes seriously mentholated and leafy in an agricole-esque stylie! Seriously sinus clearing stuff!
The palate opens with quite a bit of drying wood notes, green oak and leafy, vegetal notes followed by plenty of oily, seeped dried fruits. Good god the alcohol is immense and that vegetal rancio is so full on and wonderfully mature. This is tongue searing and eye watering stuff. What do they say about pleasure and pain?
With water (an approximation of what it will be like at 46%). The nose is still pretty pungent, but now it has become more floral with some coffee notes emerging along with green banana and some of the most beautiful, honeyed, tropical fruit I have ever tasted. Dilution has also let the seriously mature, sawdusty oak out. Seriously complex and beautifully intense.
The palate is soft and gentle now, opening with demarara coated banana along with a touch of mature, lightly syrupy pineapple. The agricole-esque notes are less pungent but still deliciously oily. Stunningly complex and very long with a bitter dark chocolate and Columbian coffee accented dried fruit finish. If you love good rum then buy this!
