The Compagnie des Indes Oktoberum 5yo rum is a unique and intriguing spirit with a distinct Jamaican heritage. Its rich and complex profile is a result of an unusual aging process in casks that previously held different types of alcohol, including beer. At 46% ABV, this rum delivers a lively and robust experience.
On the nose, the rum reveals its Jamaican origins with an enticing mix of floral notes, sweet malt, beer, apricot, pear, and honey. The palate is equally captivating, featuring a harmonious blend of malty sweetness, juniper, honey, banana, and creamy notes, along with a subtle smoky character. The finish is long and lingering, leaving impressions of leather, bitter undertones, honey, coffee, tropical fruit, chamomile, and baked apple.
This rum is a curiosity, matured in a blend of casks that previously held Macvin and vin Jaune wines for 5 years, whisky for 7 years, and beer for 3 years. The result is a complex, well-balanced rum experience with a sweet, malty profile and hints of beer and honey. Compagnie des Indes, known for its special editions and small-batch bottlings, is a French company that takes inspiration from the 17th and 18th-century West Indian trading companies. Their mission is to bottle the finest rums from the Caribbean, South America, and other exotic regions and bring these unique flavors to Europe.
