PapalinReunion10YearOldVattedRum(700ml)

Sans After a release dedicated to Jamaica, the spotlight shifts to France’s Reunion Island, located east of Madagascar. Here we have an intriguing blend of pot-distilled molasses-based rums from four different distilleries. It equates to a total of 32 casks (including ex-cognac, ex-bourbon and ex-whisky), all entirely aged in their respective distillery warehouses in a tropical climate. Rums up to 15 years old are in the mix, but at its heart is an 11 year old ‘Grande Aromeâ€?â€?the French Caribbean equivalent of a high ester Jamaican. We’re told this should please fans of Savanna or light Grand Arome funk who want a dry, naturally unsweetened sipper. Bottled November 2023. 50% Alc./Vol.
