The Bristol Classic Rum 2010 Mauritius La Bourdonnais Sherry Aged 5yo 43% 700ml is a distinguished spirit produced at the renowned La Bourdonnais distillery in Mauritius. Crafted from molasses and distilled using a Column Still, this rum undergoes an intricate aging process—five years in bourbon casks followed by a finishing period in sherry casks. This results in a well-balanced ABV of 43% and a complex flavor profile that is both enticing and nuanced.
On the nose, the aroma is a captivating blend of medicinal and sweet notes, highlighted by dried fruit, licorice, and subtle barrel characteristics. There is also a hint of oxidative quality, reminiscent of Calvados with its rustic apple notes. The palate begins light and gentle, offering soft agricole flavors that gradually intensify. Expect a medley of cherry, apple, and spices, which evolve into a lush, fruity mid-palate with a touch of vanilla. The finish is long and warm, featuring sherry notes of nuts and coffee that seamlessly blend with the rum’s initial agricole character.
This rum is distilled at the La Bourdonnais distillery in Mauritius and initially aged in bourbon barrels. It is then shipped to Bristol, England, where it undergoes further maturation in sherry casks within a cool, humid climate. The result is a unique spirit that offers a distinct tasting experience, ideal for those looking to explore the rums of Mauritius and the interplay of agricole and sherry cask aging.
