HSE Sauternes Finish Chateau La Tour Blanche 2016 Rum | 500ML

A refined aged agricole rum finished in Sauternes wine casks from Château La Tour Blanche, a Premier Cru Classé estate in Bordeaux. This limited expression merges Martinique’s structured cane character with the honeyed richness of noble-rot dessert wine influence. The result is layered, aromatic, and luxuriously textured. A sophisticated bridge between rum and fine wine maturation.
