The Compagnie des Indes Jamaica 5yo Rum is a unique product from the Multi Distilleries distillery in Jamaica, selected and bottled by Compagnie des Indes. This molasses-based rum is distilled using both Pot and Column Still methods and aged for a minimum of 5 years, with an ABV of 43%. It is a blend of three pot still rums from different Jamaican distilleries, creating a distinct aroma of banana, licorice, spice, wood, and glue. The flavor profile offers a mix of peppery, spicy, banana, alcoholic, and honey notes.
The rum is well-rounded and ripe, with almond and wood notes, and bright exotic fruits that are strongly reminiscent of whisky at times. The spices are aromatic but not pungent, with a vegetal and even medicinal side. The palate is sweet but concentrated, with candied fruit, ripe exotic fruits, resin, smoky notes, and a long finish of cocoa, pineapple, dried banana, and a smoky touch.
Compagnie des Indes, a French company, is renowned for its special editions and bottlings of typical rums from the Caribbean, South America, and other exotic regions. They aim to bottle the finest rums and bring them to Europe. This Jamaican rum is a prime example of their mission, with its exuberant exoticism, roundness, and complexity, all developed during its five years of aging in bourbon casks.
In summary, the Compagnie des Indes Jamaica 5yo Rum is a well-rounded and aromatic rum, with a balance of sweet, fruity, and spicy notes. It is an excellent choice for both new and experienced rum enthusiasts, and its complexity and balance make it a versatile option for sipping neat or mixing in cocktails.
