The Montebello Rhum Vieux de La Guadeloupe 3yo is a distinguished blend of rums aged for 3, 8, and 12 years, with an average age nearing 5 years. Produced in Guadeloupe at the renowned Distillerie Carrere, this rum is crafted from pure sugar cane juice using a Creole Column still for distillation. The aging process takes place in ex-bourbon American oak barrels, nestled within the cellars of the Carrere distillery. This particular blend stands out as the only blended rum in the Montebello range, with the other aged rums being vintages.
The aroma of Montebello Rhum Vieux de La Guadeloupe 3yo is predominantly fruity, featuring tropical notes such as pineapple, mango, and banana, complemented by hints of citrus. The flavor profile is a delicate balance of sugarcane sweetness, grassy and earthy tones, peppery spice, and a touch of licorice. On the palate, it delivers a sweet vanilla essence and a rich, pastry-like fruitiness. Candied fruits mingle with blond caramel, cherries, love apples, and a gradually more pronounced vegetal side. Despite its 42% ABV, the rum offers a medium-long finish that is both appreciated and celebrated by the rum community.
The nose may initially suggest a more "agricultural" profile, but the taste reveals a surprising harmony of green and candied cane, joined by notes of cooked and caramelized fruits like apple and banana. A bouquet of spices, including star anise, nutmeg, and pepper, enhances the palate, while lime zest adds a refreshing and slightly candied twist. Over time and with exposure to air, the cane becomes extremely candied, and the pepper notes sweeten, allowing the juice to take on cooked and liquorice characteristics. The sweetness, paired with fruity and indulgent aspects, ensures the rum avoids an overly acidic profile.
