On the island of Marie Galante, this rum was distilled in Savalle columns in 2016, racked in 2023, and bottled without reduction nor cold filtration. It was aged for 7 years in bourbon casks and grain oak barrels.
It develops elegant and delicate scents of candied citrus, orange oil, marzipan, sponge cake, and some vegetal nuances. The palate is warm and powerful, blasting vibrant visou together with salty and peppery notes. Minor mineral notes. The finish is very long, with orange peel, patisserie, a smoky note of crème brulé, toasted almonds, and that vibrant visou. Rich and nicely structured, with a wide flavor profile.
92Among 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.
