The Compagnie des Indes Boulet De Canon No.1 rum is a unique blend of rums from Guyana, Barbados, and Trinidad and Tobago. These rums are initially aged in ex-Bourbon casks for 3 to 5 years in their Caribbean origins. Afterward, the blend is further aged for an additional 7 months in casks from the renowned Talisker distillery, located on the Scottish Isle of Skye.
The influence of these whisky casks is evident in the bouquet, with initial notes of peat and smoke, making it easy to mistake this rum for a Scotch whisky at first sniff. However, as it opens up, the distinctive character of the rum emerges, revealing layers of vanilla, wood, and fruit.
This limited edition rum is a blend of English-style rums, celebrated for their rich aromas. Given its limited availability, it is advisable to act quickly if you wish to secure a bottle or sample this exquisite rum.
On the palate, the initial dryness transitions into a harmonious blend of rum and whisky flavors, offering a memorable tasting experience. The casks used in the aging process come from the only distillery on the Isle of Skye, which has been in operation since 1830.
The ABV of this rum is 46%.
The bottle size is 700 ml.
The casks come from the Talisker distillery, located on the Isle of Skye.

One reviewer noted that it was their favorite, describing it as having a delicate smokiness after resting in the bottle for a long time. Another reviewer mentioned that the Talisker finish almost completely dominates the rum. A third reviewer appreciated its unique combination of wood and spice, calling it an original and good discovery.
