Compagnie des Indes Jamaica 5 Year Old Navy Strength Rum (700ml) - 57%

Made from rums sourced from four different Jamaican distilleries. Opens with powerful aromas of creamy soda, fried banana, dried mango, fruit bread and white pepper. Second pass finds raw sugar, hints of white chocolate and banana cake added to the mix. Concentrated yet remarkably smooth and poised given the ABV; gentle bittersweetness at midpalate with banana peel, fruit loaf, white pepper, grassy/pineapple freshness and warming sweet spices lingering at length. Complex and never too sweet. Beautifully done. 57% Alc./Vol.
