Introducing the M&G Grogue Velha 43.7% 700ml, a unique and exceptional amber rum with a rich history and exquisite taste. This rum is distilled from non-GMO sugar cane grown in the Ribeira da Cruz region of Santo Antao island in Cape Verde. The sugar cane is cultivated without the use of any chemicals, ensuring a pure and natural flavor.
The rum is distilled in small batches using a traditional copper pot still by M&G Musica e Grogue, which results in a smooth and full-bodied flavor. After distillation, the rum is aged for 18 months in oak barrels that previously held wine and bourbon. This aging process gives the rum a complex and well-rounded flavor profile, with notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak.
The M&G Grogue Velha rum is bottled at its natural degree, also known as "brut de fut," which means it is not diluted with water before bottling. This results in a higher alcohol content and a more intense flavor. Only 900 bottles were produced in this small batch, making it a rare and highly sought-after rum.
The rum has a deep amber color and a rich, complex aroma. On the palate, it is smooth and full-bodied with a long finish. The flavors of vanilla, caramel, and oak are present, with a hint of spice. This rum is perfect for sipping neat or on the rocks, and it also makes an excellent base for classic rum cocktails.
In summary, the M&G Grogue Velha 43.7% 700ml is an extraordinary amber rum with a rich history and exquisite taste.
