Compagnie des Indes Boulet de Canon No.4 is an extraordinary blend of Jamaican rums, aged for 10 months in two distinctive ex-Whisky casks sourced from the illustrious Islay region of Scotland. Islay, an island located southwest off the Scottish coast, is renowned globally for its peaty, smoky whiskies, produced by eight prominent distilleries that harvest their barley from the island's peaty lands. The Boulet de Canon No.4 retains the captivating character of Jamaican rum while incorporating the intense, smoky essence of Islay whisky. During its maturation, one of the casks used is believed to have previously held whisky from Bunnahabhain, imparting its unique characteristics into the rum. The other cask adds to the rich complexity, making this a standout expression in the series. This rum is a sensory journey, intertwining the boldness of Jamaican rum with the distinctive smoke and peat of Islay whisky. On the nose, Worthy Park distillery’s hallmark is evident, showcasing a blend of tar, banana, smoky molasses, and peat aromas. The palate is dominated by a robust profile featuring strong banana, smoky notes, round intensity, molasses, barrel, peat, and nutty undertones. The finish is an impressive interplay of smoky whisky and lingering banana sweetness, creating a complex and multifaceted flavor experience that seamlessly blends the richness of Jamaican rum with the quintessential characteristics of Islay whisky.
