| Founded in 1703 in Barbados, this distillery is renowned as the oldest active rum distillery in the world. If one had to define in two words this version distilled in pot stills and aged in bourbon barrels, it would undoubtedly be: maturity and classicism. This rum draws its seductive power from an aromatic and gustatory palette constantly in motion and wonderfully evocative, as well as its pronounced taste for long voyages | |

Nose : Fine, complex. Very close to a cognac from the Grande Champagne terroir, the first nose is tertiary (preserved apricot, dead leaf, undergrowth). With aeration, noble spices (cardamom, nutmeg) and exotic fruits (mango, pomegranate) compete in intensity with notes of precious wood. Palate : Rich, heady. Change of scenery: flavors of sugarcane, molasses, and geranium have taken over the palate. Impressively vibrant, the mid-palate is refreshed by freshly squeezed oranges. Finish : Long, full-bodied. Fibrous (sugarcane), roasted (coffee), and spicy (ginger, cinnamon), the finish reveals floral (mignonette, hyacinth) and vegetal (pipe tobacco) notes. Then, nuts (walnut, hazelnut, almond) faithfully restore the autumnal character of the aromatic palette. |
