The Longueteau Harmonie Collection Opera Batch No.1 is a remarkable rum from the renowned Longueteau family distillery in Guadeloupe. Crafted from a blend of very old agricultural rums aged for over 8 years in ex-cognac barrels, this exquisite rum is a symphony of flavors. It opens with a woody burst of sweet spices, including cinnamon, tonka bean, pepper, curry, anise, and ginger, and evolves into a young, fresh wood with fatty fiber and notes of nut milk, reminiscent of a sugar cane nougat. The profile is soft, honeyed, gently caramelized, and vanilla-infused.
The rums used in this blend are white agricultural rums of 50% and 55% (65% red cane, 35% blue cane), which have previously rested and reduced in stainless steel tanks for 8 months. The result is a complex and elegant harmony, featuring a woodiness that is drier, more intense, concentrated, and savory, with a more straight and spicy profile. The nuts unfold, relaxing the whole and carrying reflections of spices, plants, and honey, ultimately forming a complex and elegant harmony.
This rum is a true masterpiece, with an intricate aroma that marries fruity hints of raisin and sharp citrus with the sweet notes of caramel and crème brûlée. Each sip reveals layers of rich flavors, from the sweet sustenance of caramel and dried fruit to the sinfully decadent notes of dark chocolate, punctuated with unexpected touches of dried apricot and raisin.
Bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 46.4%, this limited edition rum is a must-have for rum connoisseurs. Only 1400 bottles were produced, making it a truly unique and unmissable treat.
You can expect a complex array of aromas oscillating between fresh apple, white fig, caramel, and a hint of chocolate. The nose offers a beautiful freshness with the presence of alcohol serving to bind this aromatic palette together without any aggressiveness.
The palate is lively with notes of dried fruit, caramel, dark chocolate, nutmeg, and citrus. However, the finish is dry, earthy, and woody, which some may find less pleasant.
