Discover the exceptional Courville La Thibault Martinique Vieux Agricole 25yo, an exquisite rum distilled in 1960 and aged for a quarter-century. This rare gem comes from the now-closed La Thibault distillery in Martinique, a region renowned for producing world-class agricole rums. Bottled at a robust 47% ABV and presented in a 720ml bottle, this vintage rum captures a unique slice of history and craftsmanship. On the nose, this rum is enveloping and warm, offering magnificent complexity with sweet notes of sugarcane, custard, floral and fruity undertones, with hints of tobacco and spices arriving subtly towards the end. This aromatic profile is a sensory delight, reminiscent of walking into a luxurious perfume store. The palate is soft and opens up with notes of frangipane, spices, and fruits, complemented by woody, leathery, and tobacco elements in the medium-short finish. There is a hint of licorice adding to its depth. The profile bears a resemblance to old Depaz rums from the 1970s. The finish is persistent, with lingering flavors of lime, cherry, cedar, cinnamon, and white chocolate, alongside subtle traces of orange peel. It's truly mouthwatering and fragrant, making it a must-try for lovers of agricole rum.
This rum is unique due to its age, vintage (distilled in 1960), and its origin from the La Thibault distillery, which has been closed for over 30 years. Its complex and layered flavor profile also sets it apart.
