Pure Cane Juice Rum, Thailand
This expression was made with a combination of different sugarcane varieties grown in Thailand, and matured in a cask previously used for a rice shochu, a traditional Japanese spirit. Transferred to the cask in 2021, it was aged for 26 months in France. The incredibly voluptuous and fresh palette of aromas and flavours skilfully recreates the fragrances and tastes of a remarkably pure vesou. Crystalline and mineral, it is also vanilla, tangy and refreshingly herbal.
TASTING NOTES
Nose : Fresh yet heady. Recreating succulent notes of vesou, the first nose is extremely fruity (pineapple, pear), milky (almond, rice) and vegetal (sugar cane). Allowed to breathe, aromas of tuberose, geranium and mustard seed gradually take over.
Appearance : Bright gold.
Palate : Fresh yet heady. Recreating succulent notes of vesou, the first nose is extremely fruity (pineapple, pear), milky (almond, rice) and vegetal (sugar cane). Allowed to breathe, aromas of tuberose, geranium and mustard seed gradually take over.
Overall : Long, well-rounded. Notes of vanilla, coconut milk and aromatic plants (rosemary, sage) give way to sweet spices (cinnamon, grated ginger) and rich (rice pudding) and honeyed (agave) flavours.
