Riviere du Mat Brut de Chais is a single-year rum product crafted from the 2000 harvest. It has earned accolades from connoisseurs in the Cercle des Tangliers. This exquisite vintage cuvée benefits from the expertise of Jean Grondin, a master cellarman, and Christian Vergier, an oenologist. Produced by the renowned Rivière du Mat distillery in Réunion, this rum is a testament to the brand's commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
The rum boasts a beautiful golden color with acajou reflections, exuding an elegant and subtle aroma. Its rich structure features notes of citrus flowers, orange zest, and subtle empyreumatic tones from Bourgogne. Aged in small oak barrels from the Allier region, previously used for Bourgogne wine maturation, the rum develops a richly aromatic profile.
On the palate, flavors of licorice and vanilla dominate, complemented by a hint of woodiness. The finish is well-balanced, encouraging further tasting. Initially, the aroma reveals toffee, licorice, red wine, and currants, which are strong and intense. As the aroma evolves, it becomes herbal, floral, and spicy, reminiscent of Indian spices, particularly cardamom. The scent also includes new cask, light wood, and chestnut notes.
The taste journey begins with a slight sweetness that transitions to a very herbal, spicy, and sharp profile upon swallowing. The flavors are dry, woody, and leathery, featuring vanilla, licorice, ginger, pepper, and chili notes. The finish is dry and spicy with a short yet impactful spicy-hot and slightly bitter aftertaste.
The ABV is 46%.
The bottle size is 700 ml.
