Part of 1423's S.B.S. Origin Series of characterful unaged rums, this offering from the French Antilles was column distilled from molasses in 2021. Bottled in 2022, with an ester content clocking in at around 500g/hL, it's full of vibrant grassy notes, and tropical fruit funk.
Mango, plums, and grassy, herbal notes give way to peppery spice, and papaya.
A wonderful, if slightly 'different' rum to what I'd expected and it wasn't until my second pour that I developed a real love for this. The entire 'Origins' series is a selection of superb rums and I have 10 variants now. Sadly, I've had to import a couple. I can't say if this would work in cocktails as I only every sip neat rum but there's some real complexity here.
High in esters and I feel worth the money. This one has a real fruity, sweet taste. I'm surprised its not been reviewed yet.
