Famille Ricci Zodiac Gemeaux 2024

Zodiac Gemeaux 2024 is a Famille Ricci blend built around two funky pot still rums, Worthy Park from Jamaica and a rum from Fiji, aged in ex-bourbon wood and bottled at a powerful cask strength of 60.6% at around fifteen years. It is a tropical fruit bomb, drawing on the high-ester character both distilleries are known for.

The nose is loud with fruit, banana, pineapple and a cooling menthol lift, and the palate is intense and tropical with banana and a minty edge before a finish of fruit, wood, wax and more tropical fruit. Drinkers respond warmly to its ultra-fruity, menthol-laced character, with one calling it a wild blend, while another wishes for a touch more funk and ester from the Fiji side. At full proof it is bold and concentrated, a memorable neat sipper for lovers of fruity pot still rum, generous in banana and menthol and best given a little water to bloom.
