The Compagnie des Indes 2011 Brazil 8yo is an exceptional rum bottled at a robust 53.2% ABV and comes in a 700ml bottle. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this rum offers a delightful balance of flavors. It begins with an initial burst of fresh and spicy vegetal notes, followed by a hint of camphor and candied touches. The melasse is complemented by intriguing soy sauce notes, which become increasingly decadent with the addition of cinnamon bark and grated tonka bean.
Upon aeration, a light wisp of smoke emerges, reminiscent of a gentle, vegetal brushfire. This smoke seamlessly blends with the dark, fragrant notes of the initial aroma, hinting at the smoky character of whisky. The rum delivers a subtly dry palate, with a bright, lightly toasted nougat flavor that is not overly caramelized, allowing the fruit and cane flavors to shine through. The oak is coated with melasse and carries notes of soy sauce, leather, and toasted nuts.
This unique rum was aged for six years in Brazil before being transported to Europe, where it underwent an additional two years of aging in a continental climate. This dual aging process results in a lower angel's share compared to the first six years in Brazil. Similar to the reduced version, this rum is a blend of both molasses-based and pure cane juice rums, distilled in columns at the Epris Distillery in Brazil.

This rum is lauded for its unique balance and complexity. Enthusiasts have noted the inviting blend of natural and chemical elements, with a burst of freshness, floral notes, and a slightly medicinal undertone. The nose is particularly praised for its intricate aroma, which is described as difficult to put into words but highly enjoyable. The palate confirms the nose with a spicy finish that includes controlled licorice. Despite some finding the mouthfeel less impressive than the aroma, the overall experience is highly regarded, capturing the distinct profile of Brazilian rum.
