The Whisky Agency & The Nectar Very Fine Old Jamaican Rum 1977
"Very mild and calm Jamaica" is how one taster sums it up, and that fits: 35 years in the barrel has sanded off most of the ester and left a lot of oak. Expect cappuccino, nuts and chocolate up front, then tropical fruit, citrus and a woody, tannic, faintly mineral finish. More an old-rum experience than an everyday pour.
The community says- 35-Year distillate
- Cappuccino and nuts
- But: Very woody

How does The Whisky Agency & The Nectar Very Fine Old Jamaican Rum 1977 taste?
Aggregated from 23 community reviews.
Old, woody, calm Jamaican with light ester Well-liked but calm — heavy oak and tannins with only a whisper of Jamaican ester. Most enjoy tasting a 1977 distillate, though a few say it's an experience more than a bottle to own.

Review by Martin Ekrt
Vůně hezky vyzrálá s tropickým ovocem, vanilkou, dřevitá a s trochou esterů. Chuť zprvu celkem dost dřevitá, hodně třísloviny, ale pak se objeví tropické ovoce, estery, chemie, citrusy. V závěru minerální, dřevitá, kokos, koření, grapefruit. Kdybych musel tipovat, tak by to snad mohl být Clarendon, ale Bůh ví.

03.03.2018 A wonderful day with my friend from Singapore at the whisky.dk event in my hometown. Notes: Pretty nice rum my friend brought for us to taste. Despite the relative ABV the profile is light and fruity with nice balance. Finish is medium long and lightly dry.
