The Heritiers Madkaud Saint James Martinique Cuvee Renaissance 50% 1000ml is a rum bottle that pays tribute to the deep-rooted heritage of Martinique, dating back to 1885 when Felicien Madkaud, a son of a slave, established his distillery in Le Carbet. The brand was revived by his great-great-grandson, Stephane Madkaud, in 2006, honoring the indomitable spirit and ancestral art of rum distillation within the family. This revival, known as "Renaissance," celebrates the passing down of knowledge from generation to generation, with production now based in Sainte Marie, ensuring an authentic Martiniquan rum.
Heritiers Madkaud Blanc Renaissance is a living tribute to Martinique's rich history. Distilled with passion from locally-sourced sugar cane, this rum embodies tradition and is a testament to the family's dedication to their craft. The rum's unique flavor profile is a result of the traditional distillation process, which includes fermenting the fresh sugar cane juice for 36 hours before distillation in a Creole column still. The rum is then aged for a minimum of 3 years in ex-bourbon casks, resulting in a smooth and well-rounded spirit with notes of vanilla, dried fruits, and a hint of oak.
This rum bottle is a true representation of the Martiniquan terroir and the Madkaud family's commitment to preserving the art of rum distillation. It is a must-have for any rum connoisseur or collector, and a testament to the rich history and culture of Martinique.

Overall Taste: Heritiers Madkaud Saint James Martinique Cuvee Renaissance 50% offers a complex and multifaceted rum experience, marked by vibrant vegetal, floral, and fruity notes, with a hint of spice and a lingering sweetness.
This is a fine white agricultural rum that represents the path of redemption for Héritiers Madkaud, a brand that almost disappeared and is now attempting to rebuild its reputation with a new range. The first cuvée is quite smooth on the nose, carried by vegetal and floral aromas, sugarcane, and earthy notes. There is also a slight spicy and fruity veil that suggests some aromas are trying to break free, but in vain. The attack in the mouth is quite lively, with citrus and sugarcane notes, followed by the reappearance of floral, vegetal, and earthy flavors. Some spices ignite the palate. Overall, it’s a very agricultural and conventional rum. The finish is medium-length, clean, dry, and incisive on the vegetal notes of sugarcane, herbs, and flowers. A very classic rum, worth exploring, that will surely refine over successive cuvées.
