The Longueteau 2022 Constellation Parcelles 1 & 7 is a limited edition white rum, created to celebrate the prestigious Route du Rhum 2022 ocean race, which occurs every four years and attracts numerous ambitious skippers vying to master the seas. Building upon the success of the inaugural Constellation edition in 2018, Longueteau, a renowned distillery from Guadeloupe, proudly presents this exceptional release for 2022.
This exquisite rum is a blend of two distinct distillates from parcels planted with red and blue cane, specifically selected from Parcels 1 and 7. Parcel 1, home to the red cane, thrives under a maritime climate, while Parcel 7, with its blue cane, exists in a humid environment. The blend undergoes an 8-month resting period, during which it is gradually reduced to a robust 57.5% ABV. The production is limited to just 17,400 bottles, making it a truly exclusive offering.
Upon tasting, the rum immediately reveals a vibrant burst of cane juice, transforming into silky, almost creamy notes, enriched by the presence of red fruits. The flavor profile is further enhanced by sweet cane and ripe fruit, elegantly balanced with a touch of pepper and a velvety texture. As the rum aerates, it gains depth, unveiling a complex interplay of sour and sweet notes that evoke the rich soil and fermentation process. At its heart, subtle hints of milk chocolate can be detected, adding to its luxurious character.
The Longueteau 2022 Constellation Parcelles 1 & 7 beautifully balances minerality, vegetal explosions, lime peels, cane peel, pepper, and sweet fiber, resulting in a dynamic and engaging interaction with the cane. This unaged masterpiece stands out for its aromatic intensity, freshness, and controlled power, offering a truly captivating experience for rum enthusiasts.
