This "Cuvee du Millenaire" is a rum distilled in 1986 at the renowned Damoiseau distillery in Guadeloupe and bottled after 15 years of meticulous ageing. This Rhum Vieux Agricole is crafted from pure sugarcane juice, fermented and distilled to perfection. It has aged gracefully in oak barrels, resulting in a rich, warm amber hue. The nose offers an exquisite bouquet of candied orange, caramel, vanilla, and the wild scents of Grande-Terre's valleys. Despite its relatively lower ABV of 42%, this rum is celebrated for its balance, elegance, and depth.
This vintage rum is unique due to its age (15 years), the pure sugarcane juice used in its creation, and the distinctive terroir of Guadeloupe reflected in its flavor profile.
The rum features prominent woody and vanilla notes, accompanied by tropical fruits, sugarcane sweetness, and a lingering finish with hints of earthiness and burnt sugar.
While some find the 42% ABV a bit light, it contributes to the rum's smoothness and approachability, balancing its complexity and making it suitable for a wider audience.
