The Hardy Rhum Vieux is a premium rum that stands as the longest-aged bottling in the core range of the Rhum Hardy brand, which is gaining recognition in the German market. This exquisite rum is crafted from sugarcane juice, which is continuously distilled in a creole column still. Originating from Martinique, it undergoes an aging process of over three years in oak barrels, profoundly influenced by the tropical climate of Marie-Galante island. This meticulous aging results in a rum that surpasses the lightly aged Rhum Paille and the white Rhum Blanc in maturity. As an Agricole Rum, it is made from sugarcane juice rather than molasses, a process embraced by only a few producers, primarily from the French Antilles. The sugarcane used in this rum is locally grown on the Atlantic coast of the Caravelle peninsula.
The Hardy Rhum Vieux is steeped in rich history, with the Hardy family beginning their rum production in Martinique in 1830. Although the family-run distillery eventually closed, the legacy of their rum, once known as Rhum Tartane, continues through the renowned Saint James distillery, active since 1765 and boasting an illustrious history of over 250 years.
This distinguished rum is a sensory delight. Initially, it greets the palate with sweetness, featuring notes of vanilla, mocha, sugarcane, and chocolate. As it lingers, a gentle spice emerges, reminiscent of cinnamon and cloves. While this rum can be enjoyed in mixed drinks, it is best savored neat to fully appreciate its rich and complex flavor profile.
