Robert Watson Limited Old Jamaica Vintage Single Cask Rum 1977
One member pegs it as an "altes Long Pond Profil" — old Jamaican, but leaning wood and molasses more than fruit. Expect an oily, creamy body with dark chocolate, old wood, cherry and a little glue, plus faint caramel and cinnamon. At 61% the alcohol sits surprisingly quiet, and a few tasters say the 31 years read almost like an old cognac. A rare bottle you'll only meet if it crosses your path.

How does Robert Watson Limited Old Jamaica Vintage Single Cask Rum 1977 taste?
Aggregated from 13 community reviews.
Oily, woody old Jamaican with cherry and glue Highly regarded as a smooth, complex old Jamaican, though one taster felt the long maturation doesn't fully show and called it merely solid. Scarce and hard to find.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4755 22.06.2024 Nice tasting afternoon and evening with Hannes at the shop in Odense. Nose Balanced, fresh, fruity, banana, spice, faint caramel, faint honey, light cinnamon. Palate Oily, balanced, complex, light wood, fruity, light peaches, light cherry, faint leather, spices, faint floral. Finish Long and warm, wood, light roasted, faint caramel, faint licorice, spice, faint plums. This is a great rum though in the high price range. I can only recommend you try it if it crosses your path.
Review by Skyfly
On the nose, this aged rum doesn't seem that old at first. Peach and cherry harmonize beautifully with light spices and caramel. On the palate, it is beautifully oily with additional leather, oak, and dark chocolate, which lingers for a long time.
Review by Chrischi78
Schöner weicher warmer Rum. Im Mund vor allem dunkle Noten von Holz und Schokolade mit tropischen Früchten und etwas Honig alles sanft ausgewogen. Vielen Dank an Rumurmel für dieses tolle Sample!!!!!!
Review by zabo
Und wieder einmal eine schöne alte Abfüllung im Sampleschrank gefunden. Insgesamt wirkt er sehr zugänglich und weich. Auch ich habe hier so eine schöne Kirschnote entdecken können. Danke an Rumurmel für die Teilung und die Möglichkeit so ein altes Teil probieren zu können.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Fruchtige Nase, wirkt etwas verschlossen. Fruchtgummi, spürbarer Fasseinfluss, insgesamt wenig differenziert, aber angenehm. Am Gaumen tropische Früchte, cremig, mit leichter Würze. Alkohol gut eingebunden. Abgang mit gelben Früchten und spürbaren Tanninen. Ein angenehmer Rum aber für mich wenig Glanz. Die Lange Reifung ist nicht wirklich bemerkbar. Nicht sonderlich prinkelnd wenn man die Rahmendaten bedenkt. Geschmacklich ok aber wenig Herausragendes das in Erinnerung bleibt. Einfach ein solider Rum.
Review by SaibotZtar
On the nose, little fruit, peach, some cherry. Honey sweetness and beautiful spice. Alcohol very restrained. On the palate, very nice oily consistency, mmmhhh, very smooth. Spicy with more peach, cherries, some leather, and good wood. Almost reminiscent of an old cognac. Great stuff.
Review by Johannes
Altes Long Pond Profil. Wenig Frucht, mehr Holz und Melasse.
