The Secret Treasures 1989 Old Guadeloupe Rum Gardel 11yo 42% 700ml is a unique and rare gem from the now-closed Gardel Distillery in Guadeloupe. Established in 1870 by a sugar baron, the Gardel Distillery ceased production in the 1990s, making this rum a true treasure for rum enthusiasts. This bottling by The Secret Treasures offers a rich and intense aroma with notes of bamboo, pineapple, ripe berries, stone fruits, and perfumed accents. The palate is full-bodied, featuring flavors of cherries, wood, menthol, and hints of chili flakes, leading to a long finish with complex wood and bitter notes.
The nose of the rum is described as intense and atypical for its 42% ABV, while the palate provides a consistent, full-bodied experience with a focus on woody and bitter notes. Compared to the Bristol Spirits Guadeloupe Rhum 10 YO Gardel 1992, The Secret Treasures bottling stands out with its exceptional profile. Both rums showcase quality and craftsmanship, with The Secret Treasures bottling being particularly noted for its extraordinary character. Gardel rums are praised for their distinctiveness and high quality, making them sought-after choices for discerning rum connoisseurs.
This rum is unique due to its origin from the now-closed Gardel Distillery in Guadeloupe, a distillery known for its distinct and high-quality rums. The distillery's closure makes this bottling a rare find.
