The Montebello Rhum Vieux de La Guadeloupe is a finely crafted rum that embodies the unique flavors and traditions of Guadeloupe. With an ABV of 40% and presented in a 700ml bottle, this rum offers a dark and complex nose, where medicinal and resinous notes dominate, balanced by rich confit fruits such as red and black varieties. A hint of olive suggests a beneficial fermentation process, and with time, the oak notes provide a supporting role that enhances its maturity. Upon tasting, the oak becomes more prominent, releasing well-integrated tannins and aromas of dried apricot and prune, creating a delightfully indulgent experience. The molasses base carries vegetal and medicinal undertones, while hints of raisins soaked in rhum agricole add layers of complexity. A subtle zest of lime from the cane brings a touch of bitterness, quickly overtaken by the rum's overall richness. This exceptional rum is produced by Distillerie Carrere, under the Montebello brand, and is crafted with meticulous attention to detail. A single oak cask is used in its production, and the alcohol content is carefully reduced before bottling. The finish is decadently sweet, with a lighter texture reminiscent of baba or plombières ice cream. Montebello Rhum Vieux de La Guadeloupe is a testament to the specific and intricate manufacturing criteria adhered to by its makers, showcasing their great care and expertise.
