Bottled exclusively for V&B France
White Blend Jamaïcan Rum, 75% ABV, only 500 bottles, 500ml
« Lunch at your desk with a tarnished silver knife slicing grapes and peaches to spread over funky camembert on a crisp, white baguette, its breadcrumbs scattered onto the post-it notes which slipped off your warm computer monitor. »
Colour: Clear
Nose: Powerful and expressive, the nose first strikes with an explosion of ripe exotic fruit, dominated by juicy pineapple and candied banana. Behind this initial fruity wave are hints of acidity and light, typically Jamaican esters, offering fermented but balanced notes. Despite the high alcohol content, the integration is impressive, giving way to an elegant complexity where freshness combines with fruity and sweet aromas.
Palate: From the attack, we sense the complexity and power of this rum, but in a wonderfully controlled way. The crisp freshness of exotic fruits, pineapple and banana, is quickly followed by English sweets. Camphor and a light solvent add an intriguing dimension, without dominating, while mellow esters merge with the fruity richness. The texture is silky and full-bodied, with an aromatic intensity that coats the palate, without ever letting the alcohol crush the flavours.
Finish: The finish is generous and never seems to run out, marked by persistent tropical fruit and a touch of herbaceous and floral freshness.
Conclusion: A veritable Jamaican fruit bomb, blended from 5 distilleries, with a relatively low ester content that allows you to enjoy it at its freshest, whether neat, chilled or in cocktails such as Ti-punch or Daiquiri.
