The Longueteau XO Rhum Vieux Guadeloupe is a distinguished blend of premium aged agricultural rums from the renowned Longueteau distillery in Guadeloupe. Comprising 70% 8-year-old, 20% 9-year-old, and 10% 10-year-old vintages, this exceptional rum has been meticulously aged in oak barrels that previously held Cognac, contributing to its complex and rich flavor profile. The nose is expressive and elegant, offering a captivating bouquet of dried and candied fruits, including banana, apricot, and sultana, complemented by a subtle, slightly toasted woodiness that reveals hints of coconut. On the palate, this rum is full-bodied and resinous, with vegetal and peppery notes, and a slightly vinous quality reminiscent of Cognac. The finish is persistent, highlighted by flavors of dried apricots, prunes, and well-integrated tannins that linger gracefully. This is a generous and elegant old rum, a true classic that deserves to be discovered and savored.
