Column Still/ Code: RUM0101/ Dist: Mar 2004 Btl: 2017/ Tasted: Dec 2017
Incredibly dark and molassed nose with burnt treacle, dark chocolaty tannins and edgy, almost Oloroso-like herbal notes. Hints of dark dried fruit, violets and burnt toast appear. Wow!
The palate initially feels quite mature, certainly older than 13, with walnuts, molasses, treacle and dark, dried fruit. Lightens on the middle as some lighter and crisper spirit notes emerge, along with some herbal notes. Quite tannic on the finish with dark chocolate, coffee, burnt, raisinated fruit, coffee, coated banana and subtle tobacco. Very impressive and balanced.
