The Transcontinental Rum Line 2014 Guadeloupe Line #10 is a 3-year-old rum meticulously crafted from molasses, predominantly aged in the tropical climate of Guadeloupe. Carefully reduced to 43% ABV, this expression finds its optimal character at this strength. Following its initial aging, the rum undergoes additional maturation for several months in Europe, further refining its profile.
On the nose, this Guadeloupean rum stays true to its rich heritage, presenting resinous and baked notes, accentuated by spices and orange zest. The aroma is a delightful blend of cooked sugar cane juice and licorice stick, with a subtle briny note indicative of superior fermentation. The scent is solar, balanced, and generous, complemented by a hint of green olive. With aeration, the rum's bouquet intensifies, revealing bold notes of orange, spices, leather, metal, olives, and even anchovies in brine, followed by candied fruits, prunes, and marzipan.
The palate opens with a slight whiff of brine, smoke, and iodine, leading into tropical flavors of bananas and pineapples, intertwined with candied fruits and prunes, and a metallic note reminiscent of whisky. Despite its youth, this rum offers great pleasure and exoticism, making it an intriguing experience.
The finish confirms the rum's complex tendencies, with a delicate hint of malted cereals and even beer. The sensation of richness lingers on the palate, resulting in a long and satisfying finish.
