The Rhum Bologne Cask Matured 42% 700ml is an exquisite 2-year-old rum hailing from the esteemed Bologne distillery in Guadeloupe. Crafted from sugar cane juice distilled using a column still, this distinguished rum boasts a robust ABV of 42% and delivers a rich, complex flavor profile that is both enjoyable and memorable.
On the nose, this rum reveals a delightful bouquet of woody and barrel notes, accented by hints of lime, fruit, and lemon. The palate is harmoniously balanced, offering flavors of wood, vanilla, and a subtle sweetness. The finish is both pleasant and floral, with a well-integrated alcohol presence that makes it an excellent daily sipper.
Initially, the rum presents as light and fruity, with fresh citrus fruits imparting a touch of bitterness. This dryness is complemented by a more vegetal tone, which then transitions into a toasted woodiness reminiscent of toasted bread. With aeration, sweet spices emerge, and the burnt wood intensifies, roasting the spices and fruit, which seep through the barrel.
The cane juice carries a patina of pepper and other spices, alongside a dry woodiness that breaks some nuts on the taste buds. Despite its complexity, the rum remains smooth, thanks to a measured power and a certain richness.
This rum is first aged in French oak casks for 18-24 months, followed by an additional 6 months in ex-cognac casks. This dual maturation process imparts a unique and rich flavor profile. The wood continues to linger on the palate, melding into vanilla and caramel, making for a delightful and memorable sipping experience.
