Papalin - 5yr Old High Ester Rum 750ml

Papalin is a visionary project dedicated to reviving the ancient tradition of tropically aged rum blends, operating as a "tropical dependent bottler" in direct collaboration with distilleries. This approach guarantees that the rum is aged entirely at the source, maximizing the intense maturation effects of the Caribbean climate. This release is a collaborative effort, showcasing a new vision for authentic, high-quality rum blends from a single origin.

This limited-edition High Ester Overproof expression is a masterful blend of rums from three Jamaican powerhouses: Worthy Park, Long Pond, and Hampden. The blend is meticulously composed to showcase the full spectrum of high-ester Jamaican funk, ranging from the more delicate Worthy Park (WPL) to the powerful Hampden (CH), with an ester content reaching up to 1,400 gr/hlPA. Distilled in pot stills and aged for five years in ex-bourbon casks, this rum is bottled at a bold 57% ABV with no adulteration. The flavor profile is full and unctuous, opening with a tangy yet smooth combination of vanilla, lemon, mint, and fresh walnut. The palate is well-balanced, building into herbal infusions of rosemary and fresh tropical notes of pineapple before a long, silky finish guided by lime tart and rich rosewood.
