Aged at just 2 years, this is a pretty wild rum... It doesn't have the craziness of say a Doctor Bird, but there's a good amount of funk. Not bad at all for a sipping choice, but it doesn't blow the mind.
49.5% ABV. A Blend of toasted and American and French oak. Single-distilled. N: some rotten bananas. A hint of alcohol. P: dark and woody. Smoke. Vanilla.
Here's what I said about W&B's main rum release:
This is some fine rum. Wright & Brown succeed in making a GOOD rum rather than just ticking a box (though at the time of this review the rum is still nowhere to be found on their website... hmm...). They have taken the typical American-crafters-who-care approach of aging for a rather short time in first-use barrels, and then charging too much for it. Fortunately, it does taste very good—it just won't be mistaken for anything long-aged in the tropics. They are off to a great start.
This one (B+B), surprisingly, falls just short of the other. Too much wood, too much vanilla oak. Strangely, it reminds me a lot of Lost Spirits. Lots of wood (too much). The distillate seems fantastic, but the new oak has killed it. I'd like to see them release an unaged rum to show off the best they can pull directly from the still, and then start aging for longer-term dividends—4, 6, 10 years—with higher volume and lower prices. If they plan for that today, they will be rich then.
I quite nearly gave this rum a 7+, but really, this is still very good rum, offered at a great strength. Grab a bottle if you can, and if you don't sneeze at $60 for a short-aged spirit (I do).
7+, 8-- (80/100?)

Just tasted the barrel aged before this and was lacking more body since it felt a little watered down, i hoped there was a barrel strength version and to my surprise there was! Which is this, what an improvement, this nose is a little too alcohol forward hint of white wine again, straight caramel/wine taste and then the yummy punch you expect from a stronger rum like Jamaican rum meets dos maderas, solid solid rum. This is what the worthy park port finish should be but isn’t. At 53.4%abv it just the right strength, would be a 9 if the burn were a little more controlled, this burns like a worthy park but with a slightly less balance. Good though for experienced rum collectors
