The Montebello 2017 Rhum Ambre 63% 700ml is a full-bodied and generous agricultural rum that offers a unique tasting experience. This exceptional rum is a collaboration between two renowned rum producers from Guadeloupe, Montebello and Longueteau. It is a blend of two distinct types of rum: the first is a brut de colonne distilled from red cane from the Longueteau plot #1, and the second is an amber Montebello rum made from red cane and aged for two short years in oak barrels. This blend results in a complex and well-rounded rum with a rich aroma profile.
Upon opening the bottle, the rum presents a delightful bouquet of ripe cane juice, with a subtle patina of soft white wood. The aroma is reminiscent of raw cane sugar lightly cooked in syrup, carrying mellow aromas of caramelized sugar. Fruit aromas, including pears and ripe melon, are also present, adding to the complexity of the rum’s aroma profile.
On the palate, the rum is full-bodied and smooth, with a round texture and fine notes of lime zest. The cane flavor is well-balanced, neither too ripe nor too green, and displays some liquorice flavors that add to the rum’s depth and complexity. With aeration, the rum becomes even more refined, developing into a white rum that is smooth and devoid of any artifice. The aromas of lime become more pronounced, making this rum an excellent choice for a ti'punch.
This rum bears the GI Guadeloupe label, indicating its authenticity and adherence to traditional production methods. Overall, the Montebello 2017 Rhum Ambre 63% 700ml showcases the unique terroir and craftsmanship of Guadeloupe’s rum producers. Its complex aroma profile, full-bodied texture, and well-balanced flavor make it an excellent choice for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in a classic ti'punch.
