DAMOISEAU 1995 CASK STRENGTH \u2013\u00a066.9%<\/h3>\n

Nose: Secrestat bitters, notes of coffee and Chinese rhubarb both bring a slight bitterness. A discrete apple-cinnamon aroma reveals itself in the background.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″]\"\"<\/a>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n

L\u2019ESPRIT DON JOS\u00c9 2000 \u2013 46% & 57,8%<\/h3>\n

A single cask bottled at two different degrees. A pure rhum, smooth and not too sweet. Notes of citrus, pepper, vanilla, honeysuckle, cumin, ginger, liquorice, oak, almond, walnut, chocolate, tobacco… a never ending bouquet.

FAIR BELIZE 11 ANS SMALL BATCH \u2013 50,7%<\/h3>\n

With its undeniable quality, the 5-year Fair B\u00e9lize rhum deserved a vintage superior in both degree and age. After the 10-year batch, still at 40%, we now have an 11-year batch bottled at 50.7%, reminiscent of the casks from Traveller’s distillery (the same ones that are used in L’Esprit range). The rum is evocative of the excellent Japanese malts, particularly Miyagikyo and its relative dryness, its subtle spices and vegetal notes, with metallic, sharp notes close to Sichuan pepper.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″]\"\"<\/a>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n

HSE SMALL CASK 2007 \u2013 46%<\/h3>\n

Nose: aged in 55 litre kegs from Limousin this rhum has a long fruity finish with notes of white peach and prune. A touch of ginseng arrives at the end. [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″]\"\"<\/a>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n

LONGUETEAU VSOP \u2013 42%<\/h3>\n

This Longueteau is a high quality VSOP as it consists of a blend of 6 year old rhum (50%), 7 year old rhum (40%) and 8 year old rhum (10%), meaning it can be classified as XO, which explains the price tag. The nose is complex, fine, and elegant with notes of caramel, spices, dried fruit (marzipan, walnut) and floral aromas. The mouth is delicate with notes of ripe fruits; banana, quince, and melon with hints of chocolate, liquorice, clove, and nutmeg. The finish is rich and long and particularly complex and pleasant, with notes of tobacco and chestnut. Very sophisticated!

NEW GROVE, DOUBLE CASK MERISIER FINISH \u2013 47%<\/h3>\n

Nose: aged naturally in French oak barrels for 7 years, then finished for 1 year in cherry wood barrels, this rum offers a radiant flavour profile that is smoother than the last two rums. The effect of the wood is clear- all aspects are more extensive. A mosaic of aromas include, in order of appearance: red cherry, sweet cinnamon, blueberry honey, wild cherry, and a hint of banana once the rum opens up.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″]\"\"<\/a>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n

RHUM RHUM MULLER HABITATION VELIER<\/h3>\n

TROIS RIVI\u00c8RES CASK STRENGTH 2006 \u2013 55,5%<\/h3>\n

Nose: 8 years of barrel aging softened this rhum around the edges but had no effect on its body. The rhum presents a smooth aromatic profile concentrating on quinine and fresh sugarcane juice.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″]\"\"<\/a>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n

WORTHY PARK ESTATE 151 PROOF, HABITATION VELIER \u2013\u00a075.5%<\/h3>\n

Nose: After a first whiff dominated by the presence of alcohol, you’ll find that the fresh sugarcane is clearly present, as well as exotic fruits, particularly pineapple, making an altogether enjoyable rhum.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″]\"\"<\/a>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
