The Compagnie des Indes 2010 Dominican Republic 8yo rum is a powerful and intense spirit that immediately coats the tongue, yet it has a certain lightness to it. The rum first presents strong, toasted wood notes that are dry and slightly astringent. As it evolves, small bursts of fruit and vegetal flavors appear, leading to a softer, more relaxed and confit-like profile.
Despite its high alcohol content of 62.1% ABV, there is no trace of alcohol heat. The rum is fresh and fruity, with notes of strawberries and peaches, followed by a deeper profile featuring ripe mango and pineapple, giving it a funky character. The rum was distilled at the Alcoholes Finos Dominicanos (AFD) distillery, which was founded in 2009 and is known as the most modern distillery in the Caribbean, boasting its own autonomous energy supply.
Bottled by Compagnie des Indes in April 2019 at cask strength, this rum was bottled at its natural cask strength without any reduction of the alcohol content. The palate offers strong notes of tropical fruits, raisins, tobacco, and dark chocolate, paired with sweet barbecue sauce. This particular expression is a twin of another rum from the same distillery, distilled and bottled in the same month and year, but with a different cask number and alcohol content.
This rum is unique due to its high ABV of 62.1%, its complex flavor profile featuring fruity, smoky, and spicy notes, and its origin from the modern AFD distillery in the Dominican Republic. It is bottled at cask strength, retaining its natural essence.
No, despite its high alcohol content, the rum is surprisingly smooth and does not have a noticeable alcohol heat.
A total of 520 bottles were produced.
