The Saint Aubin Premium Gold 40% 700ml rum bottle is a fine example of the distiller's art, crafted by the renowned Saint Aubin distillery in Mauritius. This exquisite rum is made from pure cane juice, distilled in a copper column at the estate's rum factory. After aging in casks, it is reduced to its bottling strength with the estate's spring water.
The rum boasts a golden hue, with a delicate veil of vanilla on the surface that leaves a slightly sweet film, retaining the freshness of the cane and fruit. The cane is well-coated, imparting a mature air to the spirit.
Upon opening, the rum reveals a fruity register, featuring yellow-fleshed fruits such as peaches and fresh apricots. A touch of vegetal earthiness coats the whole, harking back to the cane and its terroir. As the fruits swell, they take on a more exotic character.
On the palate, the rum is soft and fluid, with an ethereal entry. The wood introduces a dry, peppery cane that glides smoothly onto the palate, releasing zests of lime and rounder, sweeter fruits. Dominated by woody and deliciously spiced notes, this rum offers exceptional roundness and complexity.
The nose of this rum immediately gives off notes of peanuts even before approaching the glass. Closer inspection reveals a heavy smoky wood note, along with fruits such as apricot and mandarin with a slight acidity. The fresh cane is also present in the background, accompanied by a touch of vanilla, well blended with the rest. Aeration uncovers banana and a broader spectrum of exotic fruits, alongside the characteristic smoky side.
On the palate, after a brief smoky note, the exotic fruits detected on the nose re-emerge, followed by pleasing smoky and lightly roasted woody notes that do not overpower the rest. The rum is smooth, unctuous, balanced, and fresh, with the pepper from the cane making a notable appearance.
The finish is quite long, with spices lingering on the palate alongside the smoky wood, while the fresh cane saves a little room. This rum stands out for its strong exotic flavors, making it a surprising and pleasant discovery that highlights the great diversity of pure cane juice rums.
