Distiller Notes
Sugar cane is sourced from small planters and fields local to the distillery. After cutting, the cane is immediately pressed and the juice is fermented for 35 hours with selected yeast before it is distilled on a traditional two column still. Coming off the still between 69% and 74% abv, the rum is full of vivacity and offers expressive notes and character directly connected to its land of sea and mountains.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 59% 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.
