The Compagnie des Indes 2007 Barbagaya 14yo is a remarkable blend that showcases the artistry and dedication of the Compagnie des Indes distillery, known for sourcing and blending high-quality rums from around the globe. This exquisite rum is a blend of two molasses rums distilled in 2007: one from the Foursquare distillery in Barbados and the other from the Diamond distillery in Guyana. Each component was aged separately for six years at their respective distilleries before being brought to France for an additional four years of maturation. In 2021, these rums were combined and bottled, yielding a limited release of just 791 bottles.
The rum greets the nose with a light, smoky aroma that quickly evolves into well-toasted oak, flamed nuts, and a whisper of vanilla. As it opens up, vibrant fruit notes emerge, adding a fresh, dynamic balance to the sweet spices and caramelized nuts. On the palate, the initial impression of soft oak texture and toasty edges is underscored by natural hints of vanilla and coconut. These flavors are joined by a medley of sweet spices and nuts, creating a complex, layered taste experience.
This release is the third edition of the Compagnie des Indes Small Batches, following the success of previous releases. It stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to excellence in rum production, offering a well-balanced and nuanced profile that will appeal to both novice and experienced rum enthusiasts alike. The carefully considered blending process results in a rum that is both sophisticated and approachable, making it an excellent addition to any collection.
The rum is aged for 14 years, with six years at the original distilleries and an additional four years in France.
This blend includes rum from the Foursquare distillery in Barbados and the Diamond distillery in Guyana.
There are a total of 791 bottles available of this limited edition rum.
The Compagnie des Indes 2007 Barbagaya 14yo has an ABV of 43%.
The Compagnie des Indes 2007 Barbagaya 14yo is a unique blend that combines the tropical coconut and honey notes from Barbados' Foursquare distillery with the robust, slightly medicinal undertones from Guyana's Diamond distillery. While some found the flavors to be slightly subdued, others praised the blend for its perfect balance and complex character. It is a highly enjoyable rum, though some wished for a stronger alcohol content to elevate it to a true digestif level. Overall, this blend is well-received for its nuanced assembly and delightful flavors.
