The Chantal Comte 2006 La Tour De L'or 57.7% 700ml is a remarkable rum from the prestigious Chantal Comte brand, originating in the renowned rum-producing region of Martinique. Distilled at La Mauny, this rum stands out with its extremely complex and intense aroma. Aged in "loge T" of Chantal Comte's cellars, it spent its time in 20% new French oak barrels from the Troncais forest in the Allier region, and 80% in barrels that previously held cognac. The rum was then transferred to a stainless-steel vat for an additional 12 months of aging before being bottled in April 2017 without reduction, making it a brut de fût.
On the nose, this rum is an intriguing blend of sensuality and harmony, revealing a bouquet of spices, incense, vanilla, and elegant wood. The aroma evolves into a tropical and humid forest, with notes of humus, wildflowers, Indian wood, and crushed leaves. The palate is strikingly captivating, reminiscent of a thick and sticky resin that coats the tongue, unleashing an array of wooden and spicy flavors. Despite its intensity, the alcohol content, nearing 60%, is perfectly integrated, providing a refreshingly smooth experience.
The rum's profile is enhanced with generous toasted flavors, well-balanced alongside its exotic character. This rum pays tribute to Seville, a historical city on the banks of the Guadalquivir river, symbolized on the bottle's label, mirroring its historical significance in the world of rum. Limited to just 2000 bottles, this 2006 vintage is a true collector's item, encapsulating the essence of Chantal Comte's elegance and expertise.
