Compagnie des Indes 5 Year Old Jamaica Rum (700ml) - 43%

Compagnie des Indes is a French bottler, based in Beaune and managed by Florent Beuchet. Rums are selected for their typicity and regional distinction, then brought back to France for maturation. Most are bottled without the addition of caramel colour or sugars. This edition is made from rums sourced from four different Jamaican distilleries and showcases the pot still style representative of the island's best. Some tasters have compared the profile to aged agricole. The aromas evoke elderflower cordial, dried apricot and marzipan in the opening sniffs followed by medium bodied flavours of dried fruits (mango, apricot), banana cake and a delicious creamy-soda and elderflower finish with lingering vanilla sugars. Certainly uniquely styled - and deceptively long. 43% Alc./Vol.
