Introducing the Transcontinental Rum Line 2013 Guadeloupe Line #16, a distinguished rum with a four-year maturation period, bottled in 2017. This exquisite spirit hails from the renowned Guadeloupe region, celebrating the island's rich tradition of rum craftsmanship. Limited to just 6,384 bottles worldwide, this 43% ABV rum strikes a harmonious balance between tropical fruit notes, subtle spice, and a hint of sweetness, rounded out with a touch of woodiness. On the nose, this rum greets you with straightforward agricole notes mingled with fresh and toasted banana, which persist all the way to the finish. You'll also notice lightly smoky chamomile tea, along with squashed grapes, salty seawater, and woody juniper berries, creating a complex and inviting aroma. The palate follows suit with similar flavors. Toasted banana and chamomile are prominent, complemented by sweet, juicy apples. The experience is elegant and light, almost resembling an aged gin. However, the rum's delicate profile is slightly overshadowed by a sense of over-dilution, which some might find lacking in depth and intensity. Nevertheless, the baked apple, young wood, banana, vanilla, honey, yellow fruits, cinnamon, strawberry, and molasses all contribute to its intricate taste profile. The finish is light and minty with a spicy, woody, and herbal undertone. Echoes of banana and chamomile, along with hints of cinnamon and cigar, make for a refreshing and satisfying conclusion. Produced by the revered Transcontinental Rum Line, this rum is a testament to their commitment to quality and tradition, capturing the essence of the Guadeloupe region in every sip.
