BOLOGNE - White Rum - La coulisse - Single plot batch - 60%
The prestigious Bologne distillery, founded in 1887 in Guadeloupe, in the heart of the French Antilles, is nestled in a true natural setting between turquoise sea and majestic mountains. It benefits from an exceptional volcanic terroir, ideal for the optimal cultivation of sugar cane. The unique specificity of Bologne rums is explained by the harmonious combination of several factors: crystal-clear spring water flowing from the heights, ideal sun exposure, volcanic soils rich in essential minerals for the vitality of the canes, as well as iodized sea air that gives these rums a subtle characteristic salty touch. This is the magic of these exceptional rums: the perfect marriage of these rare and precious natural elements.
But Bologne's excellence does not stop there. The distillery also values the Canne Noire, an old variety of cane abandoned for its low sugar content but whose aromatic quality is absolutely exceptional. Bologne is today the only distillery on the island to perpetuate this tradition and cultivate these rare canes, which bring an incomparable aromatic richness to all their products, as evidenced by the famous Black Cane batch, recognized worldwide for its unique character.
The Bologne La coulisse batch is an exclusive single plot batch coming from a 4-hectare plot dedicated 100% to Canne Noire. This very old plot, benefiting from exceptional exposure, surpasses all others in terms of quality. True to the tradition over 130 years old, the canes are harvested manually, always in good weather, cut by hand, then quickly transported to the distillery to preserve the integrity of the aromas and avoid any oxidation. Once pressed, crushed, fermented, then distilled in a copper column, the eaux-de-vie are aged for several months to allow perfect maturation of the aromas and slow oxygenation which give birth to an exceptional white rum, both powerful and refined.
For tasting, we strongly recommend savoring this dry white rum at least once, even if you are a fan of Ti’Punch, a specialty we particularly cherish at Clos des Spiritueux. It truly deserves your full attention. On the nose, it reveals a complex harmony of typical vesou aromas, enriched with delicate floral notes of iris and narcissus. On the palate, it is a perfect balance between power and softness. This round juice, with remarkable aromatic complexity, stands out as a very high-quality tasting rum. The finish is long, elegant, with persistence on gourmand notes of candied bananas. An exceptional bottle to discover absolutely!
