It’s a blend of pure cane juice rums and molasses rums (40/60%), aged between 5 and 12 years, and combined for 7 months in Pessac-Léognan Grand Cru Classé casks from Château Pape Clément. Once bottled, it was placed 60 meters below the surface of the ocean for 10 months.
Sweetness, intensity, and esters collaborate to develop a suggestive profile of tropical, marine, and spice scents. The sip is initially marked by herbal and bitterish notes, licorice, tamarind, and nutmeg, then it turns to more viscous and sweet ones of marron glacé, chestnut honey, and After Eight. The body is perfectly balanced, and the finish is long and rounded. A very unique rum.
94Among the rums tested in blind tastings and reviews throughout the year, those scoring the best get reselected. These products were then tried once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The only indication on the sample concerns the ABV content: a red mark states that the product has an ABV higher than 50% (100° proof). The test results are then compared, and the TOP 10 is made.
