The Longueteau Genesis Collection 2018 Rhum is an extraordinary rum that distinguishes itself with a strikingly high alcohol content of 72.7%, reminiscent of overproof or cask strength rum. This white rum, distilled in the lush French island of Guadeloupe at the renowned Longueteau distillery, is aged for 24 months in stainless steel tanks before being bottled at its natural strength, without any added water. The result is a limited edition of 5,000 bottles, each encapsulating the pure essence of Guadeloupe's sugarcane. This rum has a rich history. The Longueteau distillery was founded by Henri Longueteau in 1895 amidst the Zuckerkrise, or sugar crisis, which led many sugarcane plantations to close their doors. Instead of succumbing to the crisis, Henri pivoted to rum production, and the distillery has remained in the family, committed to producing exceptional rum through generations. The Longueteau Genesis Collection 2018 Rhum is crafted from red cane grown on plot No. 9 at the habitation. Following the 2018 harvest, the rum rested for two years in well-aerated stainless tanks before being bottled at its natural, unaltered strength. This process yields a full-bodied, slightly sweet rum with notes of fruit and grass. The rum's high alcohol content means that only a small amount is required to create a flavorful cocktail or long drink. Notably, the rum retains a smoothness and roundness, achieved through regular aeration and mixing during the aging process. Overall, the Longueteau Genesis Collection 2018 Rhum is a distinctive and limited edition rum that is sure to impress connoisseurs with its high alcohol content, smooth flavor, and fascinating backstory.
