Ocean’s Rum – Atlantic Edition 1997

Ocean's Rum Atlantic Edition is a blended rum drawing on stocks from several countries, carrying a 1997 vintage reference and bottled at 43%. It sits in the broad blended category, an assemblage built for balance rather than a single origin statement.

The profile is fairly restrained and barrel driven. The nose offers caramelised sugar and candied fruit over a clear oak note, and the palate keeps that wood led, lightly sweet character at its core. At 43% it is an easy, approachable pour with enough cask presence to sip slowly while staying gentle and unchallenging. A middle of the road blend that suits those after a soft, oaky rum without sharp edges, equally at home neat or in a simple mixed drink.
