The Saint Aubin History Collection Isle de France 40% ABV 700ml is a premium rum produced at the renowned Saint Aubin distillery in Mauritius. Distilled from molasses, this special edition was released in 2015 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the 1715 historical event when the French liberated the land from smugglers, pirates, and outlaws. They renamed it Isle de France and introduced the cultivation of sugarcane for the production of sugar and rum.
The Saint Aubin Isle de France Rum is a remarkable spirit with a unique flavor profile, highly appreciated by the RumX community. This rum is aged for several years in oak barrels, resulting in a dark brown color with a reddish hue and a low alcohol content. It is a blend of two rums distilled in different ways: one from a pot still and the other from a copper column still.
This rum is both round and dry, with a sweet and roasted flavor profile. The attack is consistent and indulgent, featuring crushed red fruits and molasses-coated nuts. Aeration and rest bring out aromas of sweet coffee, caramelized pecans, and cooked sugar. The Cuvée Grande Reserve 2005 is a carefully selected blend of the best old rums from the Saint Aubin house.
The Saint Aubin Isle de France Rum is a powerful and aromatic spirit, with a fruity and sweet aroma reminiscent of grenadine syrup, rose, and red fruits.
