Rum Nation Versailles 16 Year Old

This remarkable Versailles 16 Year Old opens with an intense and brooding nose of black licorice, antique wood, and dark molasses, supported by hints of balsamic vinegar, roasted nuts, and smoky spice. The palate is dense and commanding; full-bodied with flavors of bitter chocolate, burnt caramel, espresso bean, and charred oak. Earthy and slightly tannic, it also shows flashes of dried black fruit, leather, and allspice, giving it remarkable depth and gravitas. The high ABV carries the flavor with power and warmth, leading to a long, dry, and assertively spiced finish, accented by notes of tobacco, black pepper, and treacle. This is a rum for seasoned enthusiasts seeking authenticity, structure, and the unmistakable character of one of the world’s most historic stills.
