The Montebello Lequilibre Rhum Vieux #987 is a distinguished 15-year-old pure cane juice rum, meticulously distilled in 2002 and aged in 350L ex-cognac oak barrels until June 2018. Contrary to popular belief, L'equilibre is not a single cask but a sophisticated blend of at least two casks. This extraordinary rum was bottled in limited quantities, with only 623 numbered decanters produced, making it highly sought-after among collectors and connoisseurs. This agricultural rum hails from the IGP Guadeloupe and is expertly crafted by the Carrere distillery located in Petit-Bourg. Montebello Lequilibre is celebrated for its smooth and well-balanced flavor profile, true to its name, L'equilibre, which translates to "the balance" in French. Encased in a beautiful box, the bottle is accompanied by a drawer containing two glasses, perfect for savoring this exceptional rum. This offering represents a unique opportunity to acquire a rare gem from the Montebello collection, ideal for those who appreciate fine spirits.
