The Whisky Jury The Ester Hunter Catch #2 Reunion & Jamaica 52% 70cl

This exceptional Ester Hunter Catch #2 is a decadent journey into a groundbreaking, pan-oceanic marriage of styles. Far more than a standard blended spirit, it is a striking fusion of high-ester tropical intensity, master-level curation, and a world-class finish. Created by the flavor virtuosos at The Whisky Jury, this release is the rum that, as they say, "pushes the limit just a bit too far!" by unifying two of the planet's most extreme high-ester powerhouses—Réunion Island and Jamaica—into one single, glorious symphony. Created with an uncompromising focus on texture and vibrant gourmandise, this masterpiece transforms heavy, industrial funk into a rich, liquid dessert. It is a bold statement of independent blending, perfect for adventurous connoisseurs who seek a spirit that is as thick, generous, and complex as a smoky, caramelized tropical pastry.

A Masterclass in Refinement Every bottle of Catch #2 embodies the art of extreme component curation and cross-continental blending. The multi-layered character of this liquid gold was forged through a hyper-selective recipe:

  • The Grand High-Ester Alliance: A spectacular fusion combining the rich, intense tropical fruitiness of Réunion Island (Indian Ocean) with the legendary, funky, dunder-driven esters of Jamaica (Caribbean).

  • The Ester Hunter Philosophy: Specifically engineered to hunt down and isolate the most vibrant, aromatic flavor congeners available in the rum world.

  • Patient Wood Integration: Aged beautifully to ensure the heavy, wild distillates mesh together flawlessly without losing their raw, youthful power.

  • The Perfect 52% Proofing: Brought down with masterly precision to 52% ABV, a sweet spot that tames the explosive heat while protecting its remarkably oily, heavy mouthfeel.

Tasting Experience Inside the bottle lies a profile so rich and velvety that it feels like an opulent celebration of tropical fruit and wild esters in a glass.

  • Nose: For the hardcore aroma and funk lovers! You are immediately immersed in a vibrant, highly aromatic bath of ripe pineapple and green banana—thick, sweet, and flowing. Then, a "diva" makes her entrance: a comforting layer of creamy vanilla, beautifully intertwined with earthy notes of ancient wood and warm baking spices.

  • Palate: Pure indulgence. The term "full and intense" understates the reality; the rum literally melts on the palate with an explosion of grilled pineapple and juicy citrus. The density and "fat" are remarkable, offering sophisticated layers of green garden herbs and a savory touch of olive that cuts through the fruit sweetness with spectacular precision.

  • Finish: Long, warm, and highly sophisticated. The heavy texture clings tightly to the palate, leaving an unforgettable, lingering trail of delicate spices, toasted oak wood, and a sweet, funky fruit richness that invites you back for another sip.
