The Barikenn 2019 Brut de Colonne Guadeloupe Montebello 2yo 81.6% 500ml is a limited-release rum with only 300 bottles produced. This exceptional spirit is column-distilled at the renowned Carrere distillery in Guadeloupe, crafted exclusively from red cane and bottled without aging. With an impressive alcohol content of 81.6% ABV, it presents a unique aromatic profile characterized by notes of sugarcane, fermentation, freshness, green, and floral scents. On the palate, it delivers flavors of sugarcane, fermentation, nutmeg, grass, and a surprising twist. Distilled in January 2019 and aged for over 2.5 years before being bottled in November 2021, this rum is a true testament to the terroir and the meticulous fermentation process. The bouquet is rich with fresh sugarcane, accents of combava, and mature, confited cane. Deeper fermentation notes like cooked vegetables, brine, and a slight yogurt undertone are well-balanced, adding depth without becoming too rustic. When tasted, the rum coats the palate with a fresh sugarcane flavor, followed by vibrant fruit kernels, spicy peppercorns, and a medley of concentrated black fruits. The mid-palate is intense and savory, with a powerful burst of citrus and zest. With aeration, the citrus notes become riper, and a myriad of other fruits emerge, such as pineapple, lychee, and prune. Despite its high alcohol content, the intensity is well-integrated, making it a great addition to cocktails or a satisfying sipper neat. This intriguing rum offers a true taste of terroir, providing an authentic experience for rum enthusiasts.
