It is known, that rum production started in year cca 1680. And it was originaly used as a motivation for slaves, sailsmen, etc. So rum was just "fast source of energy", no need to store it. And it is even known that when people opened a bottle in 19th century, they usualy fill the gap of consumed rum with water. In 2023 I bought one bottle of Jamaica 1760 for my friend, I considered the content as heavily blended. Anyway - when I found out that the owner of the bottle got another 2 bottles - one full and one opened, I get the confirmation, that the content is not blended. None would rebottle a rum, blend it and fill just 2 and half bottle. Even then I was affraid like hell when opening the bottle, but... come on, it is great! Amazing color - like the best color Ibhave ever seen, full body, complex, integrated like nothing else and even the milded esthers are there. According to the taste, the most similar is the original Tot, like for 80%. Then AE 40y, like for 70%. The taste was heavily complex. So many tastes together hardy to differenciate each from the other, but full body. Nose feel wood and little bit smoke and brown dried fruit with prunes. There is no alcohol nor esthers in nose. The taste follow the nose, but add a lot of more. The wood is there, not extra strong but significant. Smoke disappeared. And then come taste of apple cake that made my grandpa but without cinamon. Add brown dried mild fruit, fiqs, mango. Little bit sweet taste, definitely without sugar. You do not feel the strong of alcohol, instead you feel the taste of calmed esthers. The negative point is for me just one - it is so complex and integrated, that I have problem to recognize all the taste. And the body is not so full loke Cadenheads/Velier 1980's rums. The rum was perfecty preserved in the bottles. And the owner in 1935 knew well why he sealed the bottles for future generations. This is the reason I wanted to be slave in sugar cane plantation in Jamaica in 1760 :) Edit - today I have tasted High Spirits Port Mourant 1974. Jamaica 1760 is similar for about 85%. Anyway - it is more intense and fullbody compared to HS1974. Its amazing that 200y older rum can be more intensive:)
