Old Oak Jamaican Rum Reserve 5 year old, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2024 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Irish Whiskey
Founded by Jean-Claude Van Damme, there’s a bounty of citrus aromas, including grapefruit, pineapple, orange, and lemon zest, a shower of floral notes, and elements of lemon candies, cookie dough, vanilla, and sweet grain notes. Soothing and sugary-sweet from that rum cask, there are flavors of lemon and honey, a tropical fruit takeover of melon and mango, and an ending of peach, pear, and candied orange.
