From Skotlander in northern Jutland comes a white rum that pushes Jamaican ester intensity to the extreme, bottled with no reduction at all in just 400 bottles.
Expert Description
Skotlander Lab Edition Jamaica High Ester White Rum is a Jamaica Rum, distilled in 2017 from Monymusk and New Yarmouth and matured about 3 years in steel tanks, bottled at natural strength of 75.2%.
The Rum Lab range is Skotlander's experimental branch, where the northern Jutland distillery explores how far rum's flavour spectrum can be stretched. This release is a high ester rum with an ester count of 750 grams per hlpa, a level that places it among the most powerful, intense rums distilled in Jamaica. Instead of ageing the rum in wood, it was matured in steel tanks at fluctuating temperatures between 5 and 22 degrees, preserving the raw, unfiltered distillate character.
With only 400 bottles of this first release in the series, it's a rarity even for Danish rum enthusiasts.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Tropical stone fruit, ripe banana and a hint of diesel.
Palate
Rich and oily with banana and cocoa beans.
Finish
Intense and lingering, with a pronounced ester-rich funk that fades slowly.
