The estate has long been associated with the large-scale production of both sugar and rum. Compagnie Des Indes, a renowned French independent bottler, has masterfully selected this gem, bringing it to the discerning palates of rum aficionados worldwide.

On the nose, it bursts with esters, grilled pineapple, ripe mango, black olives, and a touch of varnish, accompanied by hints of tropical fruits and spices such as cinnamon. The palate is equally intriguing, with a sour attack that transitions to flavors of green apples, glue, bitter wood, and herbal notes, reminiscent of Baba Anoesch paste. The finish is long and satisfying, revealing smoky notes, honey, and a medley of green apples, olives, and tea leaves. Despite its intense ester profile, this rum offers a delightful fruitiness that sets it apart from more typical Jamaican rums.
