The Longueteau distillery is showcasing two new red cane-based vintages.
A single estate white rum No. 6, 100% red cane, a blend of the 2023 harvest (rested and reduced in stainless steel vats for 2 years) and the 2024 harvest (rested and reduced in stainless steel vats for 1 year).
Tasting notes provided by the producer:
Nose: lively notes of lime zest and fresh cane.
Palate: round and intense with the freshness of lemon and hints of aniseed.
Finish: long with a lovely sweetness and a touch of iodine.
Also a rum from plot No. 11, again made from red cane, aged for four years in 300-litre ex-cognac casks.
Tasting notes provided by the producer:
Nose: rich with vanilla, toasted hazelnut and a hint of fresh cane.
Palate: balanced with generous notes of caramel and sweet spices.
Finish: long and delicately woody.
