Product Description
For Master Blender’s Reserve 2022, we drew, inspiration from historical rums in our collection and the unique flavor profiles they exhibited over half a century ago. These rums, since lost in the rum world, were rich with notes of baked banana, dusty chocolate, mocha milkshakes, honey, tobacco, leather, licorice, and spice. These flavors were mapped out and became our guide.
We began as always with rum drawn from our perpetual blend – our Master Blender’s Reserve from last year, which has been aging in Sherry casks since last Black Tot Day.
Casks were then selected from Barbados. Guyana. Jamaica. and Trinidad that showcased 1he elements needed to recreate these traditional flavor profiles.
These four unique country blends were then brought together and married with our perpetual reserve. layered and perfectly balanced to bring you Master Blender’s Reserve 2022.
NOSE: Melted chocolate nibs and roasted hazelnuts are offset against warm orange and cinnamon sticks with a background of mixed tropical juice and cassis. Blackcurrant and raspberry leaf start to come to the fore with time in the glass.
PALATE: Initial flavors of milk chocolate and raisins are complimented with cafe latte and ripe banana. A touch of aniseed balances against a light hint of tropical fruit and a wonderful, rich baked Dememra sugar top to a creme caramel.
FINISH: Cinnamon and nutme9 spice along with chilli and cocoa linger for an age.
