Embassy No.1 25 Year Old (50cl, 51%)

A blend of three aged Jamaican rums in the Rare Rums series: 65% Monymusk 1991 from ex-Oloroso casks, 20% Hampden 1992 from ex-Bourbon casks and 15% Long Pond 1985/1986. The 25-year age statement refers to the youngest component, the Hampden from 1992. The edition comprises 274 bottles and was bottled by Rum Nation at 51% ABV in 50cl bottles. The rum is juicy, robust and lively, with a creamy texture and the tannin structure of long ageing. Pronounced ester character meets sherry notes of dates and raisins, plus a hint of coconut. The nose shows dried fruit. The palate is full-bodied, with vanilla and exotic spices. The finish is long, gentle and warm, with subtle oak and caramel notes.
