Privateer Rum Single Cask #P699 (70cl, 55.8%)

A single cask molasses rum from the Letter of Marque range, matured for two years and eight months in new American oak cask P699. La Maison du Whisky selected it as a European exclusive bottling; 222 bottles of 0.7 litres were produced at 55.8%. Privateer uses no chill filtration or colouring. Fruity and sweet impressions sit alongside spices and restrained wood notes, with roasted nuts making their own accent on the palate. On the nose, tropical fruits appear with gentle caramel and vanilla notes, plus dried apricots, toffee and nutmeg. The palate combines sweet impressions with spices and a light oak note, with hazelnuts and roasted almonds standing out while fruit and spice remain. The finish is long and warm, with tropical fruit freshness and subtle wood notes remaining.
