Rum Nation Versailles Small Batch Rare Rums 2004
The whisky cask finish is the first thing you notice — several tasters get peated, smoky notes before the classic Versailles wood, licorice and anise come through. Add citrus, iodine, honey and beeswax and you've got a busy, dry glass. A few say the whisky runs too hot at first; give it air and the earthy Guyana character opens up.
The community says- Complex, layered nose
- Long dry finish
- Whisky can dominate

How does Rum Nation Versailles Small Batch Rare Rums 2004 taste?
Aggregated from 50 community reviews.
Dry, woody Versailles with a peated whisky twist Most find this a well-built Versailles with a strong whisky-cask stamp — dry, woody, complex. The catch: for some the peaty whisky edge dominates the first sip and never fully steps back.

Review by Oliver
Intense, spicy and creamy. The finish adds a nice floral note. Really great Versailles!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Another great release from Rum Nation and I think the price matches what you get. Wonderful flowery nose and the palate is nice and dry and the wood hasn't taken over the prrofile. The finish is long, dry and warm with wood and tea. The empty glass releases even more and stronger flavours.
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Excellent, complexe, une touche métallique, du fruit, de l’amande amère, limite amoniac en finale mais pas dérangeante, trop bien
Review by TheRhumhoe
A well-crafted Versailles finished in whisky barrels. The nose is most atypical, at once whisky, earthy, iodized and mentholated, but also aromatic herbs (thyme) and spices typical of rums distilled in the Versailles still (licorice, anise) with a hint of exotic fruit. It's remarkably well-constructed, with no one flavor overpowering the others. The attack on the palate is equally fragrant and pleasant. Peaty whisky meets thyme, tea, tobacco, flowers, citrus and a peppery woodiness spread over a leathery background. Both DNAs are present, and the alchemy works well. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish, slightly shorter than expected, is a little drier, carried by tea, dried fruit, spicy wood and smoky whisky. A fine example of bottling with a whisky finish, original, pleasant and sure to delight lovers of both spirits.

Review by Mike H.
I didn’t take any notes at the Rhum Fest so a more detailed review will follow as soon as I get the chance to sample this rum again in a better context. The Whisky finish keeps this one from scoring higher.
Review by Filip Šikula
Květnatá, kořeněná, kulatá vůně, s mýdlovým nádechem. Po napití ústa naplni zemitá chuť s kovovým náznakem. Postupně se rozvine květnatý pocit s náznakem mýdla. Závěr je dlouhej, hřejivej a evokuje mandličky.
