Distiller Notes
Molasses is produced from sugar cane that grown locally and is then fermented with selected yeast for 24 hours. It arrives to an abv of approximately 8% before it is distilled on a traditional two column still where the aromatic compounds are separated by Isautier's master distillers.This rum was barreled in 2006 and aged for 16 years in the tropical conditions of La Reunion until it was bottled in September of 2022. Bottled at 57% with no adulteration.
Often referred to as a Gold Rum, an Aged Rum is one that has been aged in barrels, often Ex-Bourbon or White Oak before bottling. As the Rum continues to age, it draws more and more color and flavor from the wood, adding both body and complexity to the finished product. Aged Rums can be sipped neat or added to cocktails. They fall somewhere in between White and Dark Rums in terms of their respective strength of flavor.
