The Reimonenq JR Cuvee Special 40% 700ml is a distinctive rum from the Reimonenq distillery in Guadeloupe, distilled from sugar cane juice in 2012 using a Column Still. This 4-year-old rum has a light, woody profile, with a delightful aroma encompassing caramelized, woody, peppery, plum, and spice notes. The flavor profile echoes with dried fruit, peppery, caramelized, raisin, and caramel nuances.
The initials "JR" refer to the founder of the distillery, Joseph Reimonenq. The rum is double column distilled and then aged for 3 years in ex-bourbon oak casks. It has a light, woody profile with a smooth and easy-to-drink character.
At first, it presents itself as a light, golden agricultural rum with a nice patina of wood. The oak is rich and thick, its rounded grain rolling under the nostrils. With a little air, a very Reimonenq-like greediness starts to appear, all in subtlety. Dried fruits and tobacco then quietly intrude into the heart of an ever so rich and greedy woodiness.
The rum is very light on the attack, then it is taken over by a toasted oak that captures the attention of the taste buds. The agricultural rum becomes warmer, the cane juice swells and takes on a fuller character. It's fat and easy to drink, just in time to be joined by dried apricots rubbed with blond tobacco and liquorice. The vanilla soothes the oak like a balm, its grain becoming more and more melted.
This unique offering is sure to impress both agricole aficionados and newcomers alike with its untypical yet intriguing characteristics.
