Old Brothers 2002 HJF The Nectar 15th Anniversary 18y 53.6% 500ml

We are honored to present this first ever Single Cask bottling in collaboration with independent bottler Old Brothers.

Old Brothers has become an iconic independent bottler incredibly quickly in recent years when it comes to rum. Anthony Martins has selected many wonderful Single Casks over the past few years and our rum selection is one you can't miss!

We have selected a Hampden Single Cask from 2002 that bears the mark HJF. This mark is no longer produced at the Hampden Distillery today, which makes this rum all the more special. The rum contains 826 gram/hL esters so this rum will be able to blow even the biggest rum lovers off their seats.

The rum has undergone its maturation in a Bourbon barrel. First, there was a tropical aging of 17 years with on top of that a continental aging of 1.5 years. The rum originally had an ABV of 76.6%, but we have reduced this to (a still strong) 53.6% ABV to have the perfect drinkable strength.

Nose: Ripe exotic fruits of guava, passion fruit and mango. Subtle but powerful notes of roasted licorice and solvent. Finishes with almond cream and a hint of vanilla.

Mouth: Explosion of the same fruit as in the nose, combined with the spicy flavors of candied ginger.
