Valinch & Mallet - Saint Michael- Barbados (Mount Gay) 22YO(51,1%)

This single cask release from Valinch & Mallet presents a 22-year-old rum from Saint Michael, sourced from Mount Gay and distilled entirely on a pot still. The combination of extended ageing and a pure distillation style results in a concentrated and distinctive profile.

The nose opens deep and layered, with notes of dried figs, orange peel and aged oak, intertwined with spice and a subtle hint of cocoa. It evolves gradually in the glass, showing maturity without sharpness.

On the palate, that concentration becomes more pronounced, with darker fruit, spice and a clear oak influence. The structure is firm and precise, with the pot still origin adding weight and tension, while the ageing provides balance and integration.

The finish is long and dry, with lingering spice, oak and a slight bitterness adding depth.
