Experience the masterpiece of rum craftsmanship with Domaine De Courcelles 1972 La Derniere Distillation 38yo. Distilled in 1972 and bottled in 2014, this exceptional rum has aged gracefully for 38 years, capturing the essence of Guadeloupe's rich rum heritage. With an ABV of 47% and a 500ml presentation, this limited edition is a true testament to the artisan skills of Domaine de Courcelles Distillery. On the nose, you are greeted with beautiful notes of kirsch-soaked cherries, balanced wood, and vanilla. This aromatic profile is both captivating and well-balanced, reminiscent of Campino strawberry cream candies. The absence of wood is notable, allowing the intense aromas of strawberry yogurt and menthol eucalyptus to shine through. The palate offers a gentle attack, embodying the harmony of its long aging. Elegant fruit notes blend seamlessly with hints of peppery warmth, vanilla, caramel, and tropical fruits. The experience is fresh yet sophisticated, making every sip an exploration of balanced flavors. The finish is moderately long but filled with elegance, leaving behind intense caramel, cream toffee, and a subtle echo of eucalyptus. This rum is a magnificent creation that continues to impress upon each re-tasting, offering more depth with every encounter. Despite being just a touch below versions bottled at 54% ABV, it remains a magnificent rum that inspires dreams and delivers an extraordinary tasting experience.
This rum is unique due to its 38-year aging process, the exceptional craftsmanship of Domaine de Courcelles Distillery, and its limited availability, making it a collector's gem.
Thirty-eight years of aging allow the rum to develop a complex profile, balancing tropical fruit sweetness, vanilla richness, and elegant spice, which are all harmoniously integrated.
