A very long ageing process in Bourbon oak casks and in French oak casks confers upon this exceptional rhum a Creole flavour and a spicy, aromatic palate. The nose is rich with candied fruit: apricot, peach, cantaloupe, followed by notes of grilled almonds and caramel with buttered coffee and clove. The taste is superb and enhances the nose : a broad, warm attack, admirably envelopes the palate. Its mellow nature and viscosity accentuate the lasting taste of this vintage.
