This luxurious agricultural rhum comes from the best crus of sugar cane on the island. It is wisely aged for one year in new Limousin oak barrel and then in bourbon barrels for fifteen years in a tropical climate.

It develops rich scents of dried red fruits, toasted pecans, caramel, vanilla, elegant woodiness, and raisins. Then licorice, wood spices and cloves. The palate delivers vanilla, oak, red fruits, tobacco, and white pepper. The finish is long, with red fruits, peppercorns, and wood spices, together with lightly roasted coffee and vanilla beans. It boasts a deep flavor profile. The complexity makes it a meditative rum.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE

Among 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.

This list will be published in detail in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5 .
