The Colors of Rum Jamaica 1998 58.7° 70cl

A rum distilled in an unnamed still from a traditional distillery in Jamaica. Jamaican distilleries are notorious for using dunder or mud to create high concentrations of acids for use in fermentation. The end result is a menu of rums with varying levels of that typically Jamaican funk and complexity.

This 23 year old Jamaican rum was bottled from a single barrel which yielded 247 bottles. He spent 23 years on the Old Continent. Distilled in 1998 in a pot still and aged in an ex-rum oak cask, before being bottled at 58.7% ABV.

This rum is made from the HLCF brand, and HLCF stands for Hampden Light Continental Flavored, with a high concentration of esters, i.e. 400 to 600 gr/hlpa.
