“Yehmon Rum” Jamaica 2000/2010 Cask #87 45% for Samaroli

Nose: Pineapple over-the moon, kindergarten glue stick, fresh made whipped cream, yarn, hints of barnyard

Palate: Dead to the nose. Pineapple mint gum. Maybe wintergreen tictacs. Fresh cut fennel bulb. Grilled leeks.

Rating: 6 / 10 – even at 45% this is still full bodied and intense. Fun to drink an estery Jamaican rum at this proof and get a better sense for the palate without a brooding, angry, high alcohol brother in tow.
