The Domaine De Courcelles 1972 Grande Reserve Edition 2008 is a remarkable rum that embodies the essence of refined aging and meticulous craftsmanship. Distilled in the year the Distillerie Sainte Marthe was closed, this exquisite bottle has been aged for an impressive 35 years. The limited edition rum, bottled in 2008, showcases the rich heritage of Guadeloupe's rum-making traditions. With an ABV of 58%, and presented in a 500ml bottle, each sip of this luxurious rum is a journey through a symphony of flavors and aromas.
The nose of this exceptional rum offers an intriguing bouquet of intense cherry yogurt with marzipan, complemented by fine lavender honey. It is undeniably floral, almost reminiscent of a delicate perfume. As it unfolds, notes of dry vanilla emerge, followed by waxy and spicy undertones, presenting an elegant and captivating aroma.
On the palate, the rum is a masterclass in balance and intensity. It opens with rich, concentrated flavors that blend sweetness and fruitiness with an intricate combination of spices, wood, toffee, and a hint of nuttiness. Bitter woodiness intertwines with the sweetness of dried fruits, such as blood orange, dates, and figs, while maintaining a fresh, herbaceous quality with hints of chamomile, grass, and saffron.
The finish is medium-long, leaving a lingering sweetness of dried fruit and wood. Echoes of cherry, vanilla, and roasted marshmallow create a memorable finale to each sip, inviting you to savor its complexity and depth.
This extraordinary rum has been acclaimed as a true highlight and a part of the "Rum Olympus." Tasting this rum is an unparalleled experience, as its unique and independent character sets it apart from others in its category. It is a rare beauty, a testament to the lost legacy of the Distillerie Sainte Marthe, making it a must-have for any rum connoisseur.
