Judging by color, aroma, taste and after glow, Frigate Reserve 21 is the finest Rum I've come across in my 70+ years on the 3rd Rock. I could go on, but the proof on the shelf ...

Yesterday, Hurricane Dorian bore down upon Abaco in the Bahamas with 185 mph winds. Since this is where this company is based, I figured that I should finally plunk down $110 for their top of the line bottle before the day comes when I may not be able to find any more. I am sure that their casks are in Panama and not stored on Abaco.
This 21 year old is straight from Don Pancho's reserve casks in Panama. Their 15, 12, and 8 year olds all have smaller amounts of this 21 year reserve. After allowing it to breathe in the snifter for about 20 minutes, there is the pleasant aroma of caramel with no burn. There is also no burn going down the pipe. The taste was a pleasant surprise of mild oak and caramel. It is a truly fine dry rum that reminds me of Admiral Rodney HMS Princessa. Give it a try if you can still find it.
Update September 18, 2019: This company will soon send 24,000 bottles of their rums to Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas. I am assuming that they will soon be available at Total Wine besides the ABC Fine Wine and Spirits stores in Florida. One dollar from the sale of each bottle goes to getting the island of Abaco back onto it's feet after Hurricane Dorian. A little goes a long way, so drink up for a very good cause!
