Long Pond 22 Year Old CRV Single Cask #1577 (70cl, 56.6%)

A 22-year-old Jamaican aged rum from Long Pond, distilled in a column still after light fermentation and filled into cask on 13 April 2001. It matured for 22 years under tropical and continental conditions in an American oak barrel, then received a finish in cask 1577, a former Port Charlotte whisky cask, before 350 bottles were drawn at cask strength 56.6% on 10 July 2023 without chill filtration or colour. Tropical fruits, vanilla and spices combine with caramel and oak, with fine smoky accents; dark molasses and a hint of maritime peat smoke appear on the palate, and dark chocolate accompanies the long, warm finish. The nose shows ripe tropical fruit, spice and sweet vanilla with a fine smoky undertone; the palate is rich and full, with roasted caramel, oak, ripe fruit, dark molasses and maritime peat smoke; the finish is long and warm with dark chocolate.
