Privateer The Queen's Share Single Cask

Confusingly good, nose has a slight burn fruit tones on taste with a peppery kick and long lasting enjoyable burn on the tongue. Wood notes throughout but again with this fruit/wine undertone

Lite amber color and a definite taste of grassy sugar cane.

Very brash molasses-forward introduction, followed by a tempered palate burn and smooth transition to little or no aftertaste. A bit harsh due to its higher than average rum ABV; as a result, it reminds me of FdC's younger rums - particularly their 4y white, even though they are several points off proof and are totally different styles/processes. Not impressed with this one, and the price point doesn't make this easily accessible for most (Which is something I value and take into consideration in rums).

After the pour and first sip, I didn’t love it. It came together after sitting out for a bit. Good but not a top fav.

Cask strength gives this rum a chance to really shine with notes of citrus, baking spices, and a hint of leather. This is seriously good rum.

Those that have called this a sipper, my hat is off to you. Tried sipping but too strong, call me a baby. Great flavor though with club soda and a little lemon. Not sweet at all, vanilla, maybe clove or allspice hints. One of the good ones

Toffee, biscuit, oak, vanilla, and pineapple on the nose. Cask strength really comes through. Clove, pencil shavings and cedar, brown sugar and leather on the palette. Allspice and tobacco on a long finish.

Big, rich overproofed and beautifully balanced. A sipper

This is good! I came back to increase my rating score after a second tasting.
Great nose. Taste of pepper, vanilla, nutmeg. Delicious. Thick, coats the pallet. Cinnamon notes. Not sweet. No additives! Smooth with a really great warm finish. Not overly complex. Just damn good. I prefer this one neat to on the rocks. This is a formidable, delicious sipping rum. I give it a 9.1 and will conclude this review so I can pour another.

The bottle I have is only 375 ml and labeled The Queen's Share Barrel P421. Matured in New American Oak. Nice nose. A bit of a bite or burn which is not surprising as it is 107.2 proof. Very tasty neat.
