Dead Reckoning Mutiny South Pacific 21 Year

100% pot still cask strength 65% abv 

100% tropically aged in the South Pacific

85 to 90%, angels share

Nose: Funky Banana and tropical fruit salad, biscuit spices and some clove notes as well as a definite floral presence in the mix there as well.

Palate: The pot still origin of this rum is quite evident by the lovely oily mouthfeel it exhibits. A lot more delicate flavours apparent here than I was expecting too – much tropical fruit – but also fresh granny smith apple notes. Lovely biscuit spice flavours as well as vanilla, ginger and mixed peel. The high alcohol content is extremely well integrated with little burn or harshness (especially so considering the abv). What you do get, however, is a massive flavour hit and esters by the pound . 

Finish: The absolute definition of a chewy finish on this one. Big, funky, tropical fruit salad but the sticky sweetness is tempered by the dry tannins from the 21 years in wood. 

The Mutiny – South Pacific 21yo is an absolutely massive rum.
