Baie des Trésors, the Martinique-based rum house, is expanding its range with two striking new products: Brut d’Amphore and Karakoli Récolte 2020. Each of these unique cuvées perfectly illustrates the brand’s commitment to producing exceptional terroir rums.
Brut d’Amphore: a first in the world of agricultural rums
Brut d’Amphore stands out in the world of rum as the first AOC Martinique organic agricultural rum aged in amphorae. This process, rarely used in rum production, allows natural oxygenation of the spirit thanks to the porosity of the amphora, revealing a new aromatic dimension.
At 71.2° alcohol, Brut d’Amphore is an unreduced, unsweetened rum, offering powerful, distinctive aromas, including notes of green olives and truffles. This rum is the fruit of a meticulous process designed to respect and sublimate the natural qualities of Martinique’s terroir.
To enhance the Brut d’Amphore cuvée, Baie des Trésors teamed up with REVOL, a French porcelain manufacturer. Together, they have created an elegant, sober ceramic decanter, produced in a limited edition of 1,000. This choice of container reflects Baie des Trésors’ artisanal and exclusive approach, while underlining the rarity of this cuvée.
Karakoli Récolte 2020: a tribute to the lands of La Caravelle
At the same time, Baie des Trésors presents the new vintage of its Karakoli cuvée, Récolte 2020, a 3 year and 3 month old rum from the exceptional harvest of 2020.
This rum reflects the richness and complexity of Martinique’s terroirs, particularly those of the Caravelle peninsula, where Baie des Trésors, through a parcel-by-parcel approach, selects the best cane from the Spoutourne parcel, one of the most emblematic on the estate.
The two cuvées, Brut d’Amphore and Karakoli Récolte 2020, will be available from October 2024. Brut d’Amphore has already attracted interest with its preview presentation at the Bordeaux Rhum Festival in June 2024. Karakoli Récolte 2020 will be available as a limited edition from specialist wine merchants, delicatessens and the Baie des Trésors boutique. These two new releases promise to delight rum lovers in search of authenticity and innovation.
