Distiller Notes
Trois Rivières "Cuvee du Moulin" is a blend of rums carefully matured for over three years in ex Cognac and Bourbon casks. This is an excellent introduction to those who wish to discover the qualities of an excellent "rhum vieux agricole." To be sipped neat or mixed in cocktails, this is a young rum with an impressively complex character for its age.
On the nose, spicy and woody initially, with aromas of black pepper and toasty oak as well as leather books and sweet spice. On the palate, leather and fruit are the predominant notes on the palate, with spicy oak and stewed apples. Clean and refined. The finish is rich and spicy, with the perfumed oak taking hold.
From pirate life on the open sea to Caribbean island paradises, perhaps no other spirit evokes such a romantic history as Rum. Made through fermentation and distillation of molasses or the fresh-pressed juice of sugar cane, Rums range from 20% to over 70% alcohol and come in a variety of tones from clear to dark. Highest quality Rums are generally produced in pot stills and aged in wood, while less expensive Clear or “White” Rums are produced in column stills and bottled without barrel aging. Naturally, Rums form the base of tropical cocktails like Daquiris and Mojitos.
