Les Frères de la Côte - Hispaniola No. 6 - 18 Years Solera - Dynamic Aging in Ex-Sherry Oloroso Cask - 57.4% ABV
Les Frères de la Côte represent a unique collective of importers and bottlers specializing in products exclusively transported by eco-friendly sailing ships. Founded in 2015 by two visionary French sailing captains, Raphaël and François Mangin, this company is committed to a sustainable and responsible approach. Since 2017, Les Frères de la Côte rums have been bottled in their artisanal warehouse located in Saint-Etienne, Loire, thus guaranteeing authentic expertise and full control over the production chain. Their flagship sailing ship, the Très Hombres, is a 32-meter brigantine, engine-free, capable of carrying 35 tons of goods. Since 2010, the Très Hombres has completed more than 12 transatlantic crossings from the Netherlands, demonstrating the viability of traditional maritime transport. In 2019, the creation of La Compagnie des Frères de la Côte enabled the restoration of the voilier Zeehaen, a large brigantine over 45 meters long, able to carry up to 120 tons of cargo. This innovative project aims to expand a fleet of cargo sailing ships, thus offering an ecological alternative to conventional maritime transport, placing it at the heart of a more human transatlantic trade, respectful of the environment and sustainable values.
This exceptional rum, made from molasses, is produced at the prestigious Oliver & Oliver distillery located in the Dominican Republic. Originating from a complex century-old Solera system in a tropical climate, this rum rests in old Bourbon barrels made from North American white oak, which impart depth and aromatic complexity. It is then transferred into a cask that previously held Oloroso sherry where it undergoes a unique dynamic aging of 2 months, carried out directly aboard the brigantine Très Hombres during its navigation. This innovative process allows optimal interaction between wood, wine, and maritime atmospheres. To perfect its maturation, this rum was then refined for an additional year in a cask that previously held Foursquare rum from Barbados, bringing finesse and balance to its flavor profile. This limited edition comprises 900 numbered bottles, making this spirit rare and highly sought after by connoisseurs.
