Hamilton 2004 Saint Lucia Pot Still 10-Year

I was excited to try this Rum made from Guyanese molasses, always looking for the funk and character associated with these rums. This is a pot still rum and the nose gives it away. The first nose is full of cane and spice, licorice and banana. The mouth feel is thin, and the bitter comes on soon, followed by the sugar, but the bitter last a while. The after taste is a little burnt and maybe harsh for some palates, but not mine. If you like your rum to be serious then this will be fun to drink, highly recommended.

A lot of flavor going on here. Funk and strength is the word. I had to water it down(69% ABV) a bit. Took a while but after it cools down its good.
