The Madinina 1895 45% 1000ml rum bottle is a rare gem that has captured the attention of rum enthusiasts due to its historical significance and exceptional quality. This rhum agricole, produced at the Habitation Saint-Pierre distillery in Martinique, originates from the 1895 vintage and was aged for 7 years in wooden casks before being bottled. The rum is bottled at 45% ABV and comes in hand-blown glass bottles of just over 1 liter.
The story behind this unique bottle dates back to the early 20th century when it was imported in the spring of 1902 and bottled between 1904 and 1906 in Paris by M. Fanton & Fils. The label on the bottle is a faithful reproduction of the original design, while the wooden case is crafted from hickory or pine, reminiscent of the volcanic ash from the 1902 eruption that devastated Saint-Pierre. Accompanying the bottle is a 3-page archive signed by François Fanton, providing a glimpse into the historic origins of the rum.
In 1991, on the Bercy site, the Archaeological Mission of Old Paris discovered a batch of bottles decorated some 6,000 years ago by our first Parisian ancestors. The Madinina 1895 rum complements this heritage with its deep historical roots, originating from an old winegrowing stock from the banks of the Saône, unknowingly tracing back to the almost mythical sources of Bercy. For over 30 years, this blend has been offering Parisians wines in barrels and sealed bottles.
Tasting notes reveal a delightful aroma of vanilla, burnt caramel, dried fruits, nuts, and cigar box, while the palate offers a rich and bold flavor profile with hints of licorice, leather, spices, and dried fruits akin to a vintage port. The finish is long and satisfying, making this vintage rum a true treasure for connoisseurs. Reviewers praise the Madinina 1895 for its unique story, exceptional quality, and the opportunity it provides to savor a piece of rum history.
