This expression from the wonderful line of old Colombian rums by Distinctive Spirits is a stupendous value, but also offers a uniquely contrasting character compared to the other three vintages. The most “youthful” of the group remains impressively concentrated and complex, yet carries an added layer of pungent fruit and lifted aromatics. Let’s give it a try. The color is a deep reddish auburn (1.4). The fruit-forward profile is complemented by a touch of funky rum depth, a welcome and compelling feature here. The port influence still shows with sweet red fruit on the nose, but there’s also a pronounced orchard fruit character alongside earthy herbs and spice. On the palate, dried fruits and fondant are balanced by a juicy vibrancy that gives the whole package incredible lift and invites another sip. While this may be slightly less dense and dark in flavor than the others, it certainly does not lack complexity. Taken together, the four expressions represent an incredible range of character built around this remarkable old spirit, which may never again be available at this price, or at all.

Notes

Very rarely has K&L come across such impeccable and unique stocks at such incredible prices as these impressive barrels of Columbian rum. These stocks of hyper-aged of Columbian rum are from old stocks that have been saved from the apparatus of local production by these two wonderful independent bottlers. The rums were vatted by vintage and finished in various casks for long periods of time. This particular barrel was distilled entirely in 1984 and finished for an additional 36 months in fresh port pipes before bottling at a natural vatted strength of 40% alc by vol in 2017. Tasting notes from the bottler, "33-year old rum finished for 3 years in a Port Pipe from one of Oporto’s best wineries. Dark mahogany color with flashes of deep brass to the edges and serious viscosity showing in the glass. The multi-layered nose shows great dark cherry juice with hints of cranberry puree and huckleberry jam over honey-nut cheerios and candied apricots. On the palate, there is an explosion of interesting dark fruit like acai berries crushed with maraschino cherries and then apple cobbler, marzipan and toasted macadamia nuts. It is a stunning and super interesting Rum with such a fabulous and complex finish, that just lingers for minutes afterwards."
