The Rumclub Private Selection 2017 VSOP Edition no.19, also known as Secret Distillery, is a unique and limited edition rum with an intriguing backstory. This rum is a product of a secret, family-owned distillery located in Martinique, a French Antillean island known for its traditional production of Rhum Agricole. The rum was distilled in 2017 using a Creole column and aged for four years in oak barrels on site.
After aging, the rum was shipped across the Atlantic on board the Tres Hombres, an octogenarian sailing ship, adding to its maritime character. The rum was then bottled by the German bottler, Spirit of Rum, without any reduction in alcohol content, resulting in a total of 371 bottles.
This cask strength rum has a high alcohol content and is characterized by its assertiveness, charisma, and complexity. It boasts a lively temperament with sweet and fruity notes, combined with hints of grass and occasional traces of something earthy. The rum's vintage-inspired presentation, complete with a wax seal, adds to its overall allure.
