The Longueteau 2014 Selection Parcellaire #1 is a single-varietal agricultural rum produced by the oldest distillery on the island, Longueteau, located at the foot of the Soufriere volcano in Guadeloupe. This rum is made from organically farmed red cane grown in a specific plot #11, which is the smallest of the estate at 0.56 hectares. The cane in this plot benefits from constant sunshine, resulting in increased aromatic strength. The rum is distilled in a Savalle column and was bottled in November 2021 after 12 months of rest and slow reduction in stainless steel tanks. On the nose, this rum has a remarkable freshness and power, with aromas of fresh cane, flowers, and subtle notes of citrus. The attack on the palate is pleasantly sweet, with the cane once again taking center stage. The alcohol is present but not overpowering. The finish is long, with notes of cane and citrus, as well as a floral impression. The Longueteau Selection Parcellaire Canne Rouge #1 is a unique expression of a terroir, the result of the perfect combination of soil, environment, and family know-how. It is a rum that will delight the senses and transport you to the heart of Guadeloupe. Surprising for a white rum. I was not overwhelmed by the sweet flavor as announced, but it was discreet. I like it a lot and recommend it to lovers of young rums with a lot of character! Not as good as the 9 or 12, but not bad at all. A bit more acidic on the palate than the other two, but still a very good rum. The parcellaire Longueteau are among my favorite white rums.
