Longueteau Bartender Selection Rhum Ambre is part of the renowned Longueteau brand, celebrated for producing high-quality agricole rhums. This particular expression, with an ABV of 40%, comes in a 700ml bottle and delivers a unique and aromatic experience. The Longueteau distillery, located in Guadeloupe, has a rich history of creating exceptional rhums, and this selection is no exception. On the first nose, the rum reveals a light aroma, reminiscent of cane flower wet with lemonade. The sweetness of cane sugar syrup blends seamlessly with the tartness of strawberry and banana candy. Fresh cane, with a slightly mineral and peppery touch, brings out citrus notes that complement the fermentation aromas, featuring hints of ripe fruits and vegetables. Upon aeration, the profile transforms, evoking a greater sense of confectionery with notes of love apples and slightly spicy tutti-frutti candy. The woody flavor then emerges, intertwined with the roundness of vanilla and a medley of spices that add a lively touch. On the palate, the entry is lively and slightly tart, quickly settling into a more traditional agricole rum profile. The tart candy flavors merge with ethereal aromas, transitioning into tangy citrus with a bitter zest that tightens the taste buds on grey pepper. Although some may find the rum's aroma and taste to be on the lighter side, it offers a gentle introduction to the world of agricole rhums, making it an excellent choice for newcomers. It is also highly recommended for cocktails, particularly in a classic Ti' Punch. This rum is aged for 18 months in former Cognac oak casks, which imparts subtle depth and complexity to its flavor profile. While seasoned agricole drinkers may find it a bit mild, its approachable nature makes it a perfect entry point for those eager to explore the agricole style.
