BAIE DES TRÉSORS - Aged Rum - Brin d’Amour 2019 - 52.2%
Discover Baie des Trésors, an innovative distillery in Martinique that enhances the island’s identity through the exploration of its unique micro-terroirs. Originating from the agricultural estate of Galion, the last active sugar mill in Martinique, Baie des Trésors honors the Caravelle peninsula by selecting rigorously defined plots where the sugarcane reveals a thousand nuances influenced by volcanic soils, the marine climate, and ambient humidity. Brin d’Amour perfectly illustrates this parcel-based approach, focusing on the lush high slopes of Dufferet, nourished by abundant rainfall that shapes the character of exceptionally juicy sugarcanes. The spirit of Baie des Trésors relies on pure cane juice, with no added sugar or caramel, and meticulous aging aimed at revealing the Martinican terroir in its most authentic expression. Brin d’Amour 2019 embodies the deep, aged, and elegant facet of the work carried out around the humid terroir of Fruits des Pluies, enriching the interpretation of this exceptional micro-terroir.
Baie des Trésors Brin d’Amour 2019 52.2% is an aged agricultural rum AOC Martinique made from pure cane juice extracted exclusively from the Dufferet plot, nestled on the fertile volcanic and humid lands of the Caravelle peninsula. Distilled in a traditional Creole column still, the vesou is then aged between four and five years in French oak barrels selected with the utmost care. This tropical climate aging intensifies the aromatic concentration while preserving the soft typicity provided by the humid terroir, in an exceptional and highly expressive VSOP style. Thanks to bottling at 52.2%, this rum retains all the density and tannic structure of the wood without losing elegance, complexity, or drinkability. True to the house’s artisanal philosophy, each batch is bottled without any additives, sugar, or caramel, delivering a pure and striking experience of the 2019 vintage. This limited and numbered edition will delight passionate enthusiasts seeking unique terroir rums, signed by a strong, refined, and authentic identity. Find this unprecedented gem on Clos des Spiritueux, your reference for purchasing exceptional rum and rare spirits.
On tasting, Baie des Trésors Brin d’Amour 2019 reveals an intense amber color with golden and copper highlights, reflecting the richness of its aging. The nose offers remarkable complexity, combining delicate woody notes, red vermouth, old port, raisin brioche, enhanced by prune, dried mango, dried flowers, honey, subtle chocolate touches, and a hint of iodine evoking the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean. On the palate, the attack is broad, smooth, carried by the indulgence of candied cane and ripe fruits, then structured by melted woody tannins. Its rich and velvety texture is energized by a spicy framework, notes of roasted coffee, cocoa, candied orange, and a delicate salinity that stretches the palate with finesse. The long, warm finish features honey, mild spices, blond tobacco, and a persistent return of toasted and woody nuances. Brin d’Amour 2019 is ideally enjoyed at room temperature, neat or with a drop of water, accompanied by a dark chocolate fondant, banana tart, spiced roasted pineapple, aged pressed cheese, or a refined cigar.
