Bottled at 60.1% ABV, it preserves the distillate's authenticity and the richness of the finish, revealing the perfect marriage of exceptional rum and Armagnac brandy. Offered in an ultra-limited series, this batch embodies the exacting standards of POH! Spirits. A must-have favorite from Clos des Spiritueux, offering unparalleled value for money and enjoyment for a Savanna!
The nose is instantly captivating with aromas of dried fruit and brown sugar, quickly joined by intense notes of dark chocolate, toasted almond, and puff pastry inherited from the Armagnac finish. With aeration, a subtle freshness emerges, reminiscent of citrus peel and ripe tropical fruit, enlivening the molasses structure. The palate, both ample and energetic, offers a generous texture underscored by the natural alcohol content and a beautiful smoothness of brown sugar. Flavors of candied plum and sweet spices express themselves with elegance and complexity upon opening. The long, warm finish evokes an exquisite blend of bitter cocoa, nuts, a hint of rancio, and a mouthwatering touch of candied orange peel.
Perfect for enjoying at the table or in the living room, this characterful rum beautifully complements a lightly sweetened chocolate fondant, a walnut tart, spiced roasted pineapple, or a slightly warmed blue cheese. It also pairs perfectly with a medium-bodied cigar, whose tension in the distillate balances the woody sweetness of the wrapper. Available exclusively at Clos des Spiritueux, your expert in fine rums and rare spirits.
