Tasting Notes for Barrell Craft Spirits Cask Strength Rum 14 Year:

Nose: The esters are so concentrated and varied that the aroma presents first with the unmistakable monolithic smell of funky Jamaican rum. Slowly. the Barbados and Demerara rums drive a wedge into the funk and focus the profile first around berries and flowers. There's a fatty element at times reminiscent of tahini or browned butter. A kiss of wood spice. sauna and nutmeg is present.​

Palate: The alcohol keeps the sweetness in check. the tannins are modest and sandy. Tthe flavors mirror the nose: Blackberry. rosehip. nutmeg. tahini. The mineral side really shines and gives a maritime feel: crushed oyster shell. kelp. fried clams. dry vermouth.​

Finish: The tropical fruits pop. with lime zest. lychee. navel orange. and pineapple. Some soft resinous touches of mastic and pine pitch. A hint of savory enoki mushroom and sweet crab meat.
