The Rhum Bologne XO 42% 700ml is a distinguished 6-year-old rum from the prestigious Bologne distillery located in Guadeloupe. This exquisite spirit is crafted from pure sugar cane juice using a traditional copper column still and aged in premium French oak barrels. The XO blend incorporates rums aged for 6, 8, 10, and over 10 years, culminating in a sophisticated and multifaceted libation.
The aromatic profile of this rum is generous and radiant, bursting with notes of ripe exotic fruits, candied cane, and refined toasted woodiness. Delicate hints of spiced tobacco and a cigar box aroma add depth, while a slight industrial, metallic nuance imparts a unique "serious" character. On the palate, it offers a delightful experience with flavors of prune, apricot, round cane, and thick amber resin. The presence of melted tannins, dry exotic fruits, and a touch of licorice further enhances its complexity, while honey and candied fruit contribute a comforting sweetness. The finish is long-lasting, blending the flavors of licorice and tannins with a lingering sweetness of stone brandy and vanilla.
