The Compagnie des Indes 2005 Venezuela 14yo rum is a dense and aromatic spirit with a toasted oakiness that lends intensity to its caramelized nutty flavors. It has a viscous, syrupy texture, reminiscent of maple syrup with a hint of molasses. The vanilla notes from the bourbon barrel aging are well-balanced, complemented by moist, comfortable coconut and white wood flavors. A touch of plum jam adds to the impression of a rich, concentrated rum.
This is a well-balanced rum with a slightly spicy attack and a serious, full-bodied character. The toasted nuts are enveloped in fruit juices and vanilla, without losing their robustness. The American oak influence is evident in its coconut, blond tobacco, and tender wood notes.
This rum was distilled in 2005 at the Corporation Alcooles del Caribe (CADC) distillery in Venezuela and matured in a single cask for 14 years before being bottled by Compagnie des Indes in April 2019. It is a fine example of a traditional Spanish-style rum, round yet not overly sweet, with a pleasant concentration derived from its bourbon barrel aging. With only 397 bottles produced, this limited edition rum is a treasure for any connoisseur.
This rum is unique due to its long 14-year aging period in a single cask, its bourbon barrel influence, and its limited production of only 397 bottles. It offers a balanced profile of sweetness, spice, and rich fruitiness.
