The Compagnie des Indes 2011 Brazil 8yo rum is a distinguished product from the independent bottler Compagnie Des Indes. Distilled at the renowned Epris distillery in 2011, this rum has undergone a unique maturation process. Initially aged in Brazil for 6 years in an ex-bourbon cask, it was then transferred to Europe for an additional 2 years of aging, resulting in a total of 8 years of maturation before being bottled in October 2019. This rum is a limited edition with only 680 bottles available, making it a rare and sought-after spirit.
On the nose, this rum presents a drier and fresher cane than expected, reminiscent of rhum agricole from the Antilles. It has a full-bodied profile featuring hints of cane juice, pepper, and citrus peels. As it aerates, notes of honey become more prominent, offering a warm and comforting sensation. There are also intriguing notes of well-preserved, fermented vegetables with a slightly farm-like character.
The palate is gently vegetal, with subtle hints of grilled wood and smoke. It quickly evolves to reveal notes of yellow fruits, such as peaches, coated in floral and colorful spring honey. The complex flavor profile offers rich notes of toasted hazelnuts, Szechuan pepper, sweet barbecue sauce, and umami. This rum strikes a balance between sweet and savory flavors, providing a unique and multifaceted drinking experience.

This rum offers a unique experience with its blend of pure molasses aged in ex-bourbon casks, creating an atypical flavor. Some reviewers found it to be very spicy and herbaceous, with a profile that interestingly resembles a reposado tequila. While it may be an acquired taste for some, its bitterness and power, aged predominantly in tropical conditions, make it a standout Brazilian spirit. Overall, it’s described as an unusual and intriguing rum that evokes a strong reaction—either highly appreciated or not suited to everyone's palate.
