The Longueteau 125 Years is a limited-edition rum from the renowned Guadeloupe-based Longueteau distillery, with only 2,500 bottles available worldwide. Crafted to celebrate the distillery's 125th anniversary, this exquisite rum is created from a blend of three white rums distilled in 2008, 2009, and 2010. The rum is made using a combination of 65% red cane and 35% blue cane. Initially aged for 8 months in stainless steel vats, the blend is then further matured in 300-liter Cognac barrels, enhancing its complexity and depth. The resulting rum is a harmonious blend of elegant, distinguished woodiness with a precise and intricate spice profile. The aroma is reminiscent of an aged Cognac, with notes of oak, tannins, and a hint of wax. On the palate, it offers a dry and textured attack, revealing layers of melted wood, orchard fruits, elegant spices, and toasted nuts. As the rum aerates, the oak fibers soften, revealing a candied rum character with ripe cane, mirabelle, and apricot juices. The finish is long and complex, balancing woody, cinnamon, brown sugar, dried fruit, and plum flavors. Adding to its allure, the rum's aromatic profile includes well-presented sugar cane evolving into brown sugar and slightly overcooked caramel. Beautiful wood, spices, and some candied fruits come through, with roasting notes such as coffee. Although the alcohol presence might initially seem slightly pronounced for a 44.4% ABV, it integrates surprisingly well on the palate, revealing flavors akin to aged fruit eau-de-vie, like old plum or mirabelle. This commemorative edition is not just a beverage but a piece of history, making it a unique and valuable addition to any rum collection. Its elegant packaging and limited availability make the Longueteau 125 Years a must-have for both collectors and enthusiasts of fine rums.
