Habitation Velier
Forsyths WP Jamaica Pure Single Rum
Jamaica
Baby Alexander is holding a bottle of Habitation Velier Forsyths WP 2005 Single Jamaica Rum in honor of National Rum Day! This was the first bottling of Worthy Park rum since the pot stills were mothballed in 1962, with the site having previously produced the spirit without interruption from 1670. The rum is named after the inventor of the still, one Alexander Forsyth, baby's namesake, who worked as a coppersmith in the 1890s. Interestingly his company, Forsyths, remains a leader in distillation equipment.
This 10 year aged rum is said to have leather, bourbon spice, toffee and smoke. I look forward to verifying these notes when baby Alex gives me permission to crack open his bottle. (And thus the rating is a guess for now too.)

Amazing grace. Such high octane (59% abv!) and yet so much subtle flavor. I mean, you need the ice cube. But boy does it open up—and the nutty, floral, caramel, citrus-y finish on each sip goes on all night. Aged 10 years, pure molasses, no blend. What a joy.

Même si l'intégration de l'alcool n'est pas parfait, c'est puissant, long en bouche, à mi-chemin entre un rhum et un whisky d'Islay
