Rum Nation Rare Port Mourant 2010 2022 Sherry Finish 70cl 59%Vol

A medium bodied rum distilled in a double wooden pot still, with a moderately estery character enhanced by a finish for 22 months in refill Oloroso. At the nose it’s fruity, apparently sweet, easy and pleasant: not an aggressive or spicy profile, on the contrary it’s quite raisiny and reminiscent of an old sherry-matured whisky. There is also a slightly earthy note from the cask. At the palate it’s fairly winey and tannic, but not blatantly marked by the sherry. It remains dry, with notes of liqourice, sandalwood, and lavender.
