The Longueteau 2016 Genesis 71.7% 700ml is an exceptional agricultural rum from the Marquisat de Sainte-Marie in Guadeloupe, specifically from plot number 9, which is planted exclusively with red cane. This cuvée underwent distillation in a Creole column and was then aged for 4 years in new oak barrels from the Troncais forest, resulting in a final ABV of 71.7%. The rum is a creation of the renowned Longueteau distillery, a family-owned establishment with a long history of crafting premium rums.
This rum is the third release in the Genesis series, following an unaged version and an amber one. What sets this particular release apart is that it is the first time an agricultural rum has been put into casks without reduction and then bottled brut de fût, or straight from the cask. With only 2000 bottles produced, it is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item.
The rum offers a powerful taste experience, with flavors of fresh and fruity cane accompanied by a slight bitterness of lime zest that adds freshness. The mid-palate is softly vegetal and mellow, with notes of bitter almond that bring a wet and tropical character, full of tenderness and umami. Upon aeration, the candied profile of the rum becomes more pronounced and widespread, with no trace of alcohol or aggressiveness. The 71.7% ABV is truly impressive, making this rum a standout in its class. Overall, the Longueteau 2016 Genesis 71.7% 700ml is a must-try for any rum enthusiast.
