The Compagnie des Indes 1998 Guadeloupe 16yo rum is a single cask expression distilled in March 1998 from molasses at the esteemed Bellevue Distillery in Guadeloupe. This region is known for producing high-quality agricultural rums. Following distillation, the rum was aged for nine years in Guadeloupe before being imported to France, where it underwent an additional seven years of aging at the renowned Damoiseau distillery. This extended aging process, conducted under a latitude that minimizes the "angels' share," results in a rich and full-bodied rum. This exquisite rum boasts an amber color with bronze highlights. The nose is greeted by a harmonious blend of fruity notes, including apple, orange blossom, pear, and licorice. On the palate, the rum is fruit-forward with flavors of banana, guava, and pineapple, complemented by oak and a light touch of vanilla. The finish is long and smooth, leaving a lasting impression. A limited number of bottles were produced, with only 577 bottles available. This exclusive release won a bronze medal in its category at the 2015 Rhumfest in Paris. The Compagnie des Indes 1998 Guadeloupe 16yo rum is a testament to the craftsmanship and quality of the Compagnie des Indes brand, making it a must-try for any rum enthusiast.
This rum is unique due to its extended aging process of 16 years, split between Guadeloupe and France, which enhances its rich and full-bodied flavor profile.

You can expect a complex blend of fruity, sweet, and woody notes, with flavors such as banana, guava, pineapple, oak, and a light touch of vanilla.
The nose of this rum is deceptive at first, reminiscent of a good old Calvados with its apple, licorice, and wood aromas. However, new scents quickly appear, revealing a surprising array of aromas such as olive, banana, exotic fruits, and a slight hint of hydrocarbons. It's a true journey! On the palate, it immediately delivers very fruity, exotic (banana, lychee), and woody flavors. This is a rich and powerful rum. It truly is a bottle of exotic fruit salad. Perfect for those who appreciate exotic journeys and fruity rums. Special thanks to Romain for this delightful tasting note!
