A cask strength Jamaican Worthy Park and Fijian blend from Famille Ricci, rich and dessert like with leather, coconut, baked apple, burnt sugar, citrus and tarry toasted wood at a hefty 60.5%.
Description
Famille Ricci Unique Blend No. 4 is a cask strength marriage of Jamaican Worthy Park and Fijian rum, bottled at 60.5% by the French house Famille Ricci for drinkers who like their blends bold and layered. The two components stay clearly distinguishable, the fruity Jamaican and the deeper Fiji harmonising into a dessert like whole.
The nose leads on leather, coconut, baked apple and toasted wood, and the palate delivers burnt sugar, vanilla and a buttery, oily weight with citrus lifting the edges and a tarry note running underneath. The finish carries butterscotch, more wood and roasted nuts. Worthy Park brings its fermentation driven tropical fruit while Fiji adds depth and a touch of funk, the burnt sugar acting as connective tissue. It rewards attention, a rich, full strength sipper that reads almost like a dessert in the glass, well suited to those who enjoy big Jamaican and Pacific cask strength rum.
