Papalin 5 Year Jamaica High Ester Overproof Rum is the latest limited release from the Papalin project.

The latest double editions of Velier’s Papalin blend – this time focused on the Jamaica High Ester style. The blend comprises of three Jamaican rums (and producers) – Worthy Park (WPL mark, 60-120 gr/hlpa), Long Pond (STCE mark, 550-700 gr/hlpa) and Hampden (C<>H mark, 1,300-1,400 gr/hlpa), all of which aged for 5 years and up, pot still distilled. These total up 63 barrels that make up the blend, with this Overproof release bottled at 57% ABV.

A super captivating showcase of signature Jamaican rum funk but with a twist. The tropical fruit notes, earthy medicinality and empyreumatic touches are all there, yet it maintains an impressive herbaceous freshness throughout. It’s remarkably memorable and distinctive for a 5-year-old rum, with a complexity that belies its age. This one does a respectable job highlighting Velier’s masterful blending, where the whole becomes far greater than the sum of its parts. (Credit: @CharsiuCharlie)

Additional information

Papalin 5 Year Jamaica High Ester Overproof Rum bottled at 57% ABV.

Papalin is a project dedicated to rum blends, made by Luca Gargano himself. After the success of the first edition launched by Velier in October 2013 (now a collectors’ item), the brand has been revived with two new releases: Papalin Jamaica 7 years old and Papalin Jamaica 7 years old Navy Proof.

Jamaica is the latest area of research and selection by Velier and these two new Papaplin rums represent a new horizon of blending tropically aged pot still rums. They are ‘vatted rums’ (blend of different pot stills) entirely aged in the respective warehouses of the distilleries where they were produced: Worthy Park and Hampden Estate.

The reason Papalin is called a “tropical dependent bottler” is that Velier is the only company that created direct partnerships with distilleries when it comes to sourcing and ageing rums, and therefore depends on the distilleries until the product is bottled. This way, all the projects are planned hand in hand with partners in terms of sourcing and ageing, which always takes place in the official warehouses of the distilleries.
