The Montebello 2015 Distillerie des Menhirs La Rencontre is a 7-year-old rum that exemplifies a unique fusion of craftsmanship and terroir. This limited-edition rum was distilled in 2015 by the Montebello distillery located in the lush landscape of Guadeloupe. Highlighting a distinct whiskey edge, only 2240 bottles of this exclusive release are available. Originally distilled from pure sugarcane juice, this rum was casked in August 2015. It then underwent a secondary maturation for 188 days in three barrels from the Menhirs distillery, which had previously held Eddu Silver buckwheat Breton whiskey. This process has yielded a delicately balanced rum, marrying the sweetness of candied fruits and caramel with the freshness of lemon, alongside subtle vegetal and peppery notes. On the nose, the rum presents extremely candied and gourmand aromas, such as mirabelle plum jam, pear, and baked apple. Aeration further enhances its velvety texture, revealing honeyed nuances interwoven with sweet spices. The palate bursts with fruity and grassy notes, underpinned by the pure essence of sugarcane and a distinctive whiskey finish. Montebello LA RENCONTRE is more than just a drink; it is a part of an exclusive collection released by Carrere, showcasing a fascinating fusion of different cask finishes. This elegant and high-strength rum is a well-balanced treasure, perfect for any discerning spirit collection.
