ESPRIT - Uitvlugt 1999 - Brut de fût - 56,4%
L’Esprit is an independent bottling company specialising in rums and spirits. It was created by Tristan Prudhomme and his wife Anna Jaworska. The couple met in Edinburgh, Scotland; Tristan was working for the Whisky Shop when Anna, of Polish origin, was there on vacation. In 2007, they returned to France and opened their shop specialising in whiskies and rums in Rennes. Out of passion, they developed the selection called "L’Esprit" which consists of buying spirits barrels to be bottled, without colouring, filtration or reduction. Each edition is limited to 250 or 300 bottles and each bottle is manually inscribed with the date of distillation, the date of bottling, the degree of alcohol and the number of the bottle.
This edition comes from the Uitvlugt Distillery in Guyana. The rum was distilled in October 1999 and bottled in October 2020, cask strength at 56.4%. 208 bottles were produced.
