PRICE: $ 80 | € 80
TYPE: Rhum Agricole
Distilled on the Domaine du Marquisat de Sainte-Marie, in Capesterre-Belle-Eau, this rum was first matured in new French oak casks, then in ex-cognac casks from March 2021 on, and finally released in September 2021, without reduction or cold filtration, in 4,000 numbered bottles.
It delivers scents of coffee, tobacco, blackberries, and noble wood. The sip is intense and flavorful with plenty of chocolate, blackberry jam, Cayenne pepper, red licorice, and festive spices. The typical visou comes out only at the very end, uniquely marked by the ex-cognac bitterish notes. Extremely loaded, but delicately delivered.
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.
