Bapt & Clem's Vintage Guadelope 2009 Rum

The Reimonenq Distillery is one of Guadeloupe's finest. Founded in 1916 by Joseph Reimonenq in Sainte-Rose on the island of Basse-Terre, the distillery was destroyed in a fire in 1970. After being rebuilt and modernized, the distillery launched a Rhum Museum. It's one of Guadeloupe's most popular tourist attractions, yet the distillery sells no rum in the United States other than this unique offering. Like all Agricole, it's distilled from fresh cane juice. The cane is harvested and crushed in a short period of time to preserve the quality and prevent spoilage. The highly unstable juice is fermented in tanks for up to four days before being distilled with an unusual double column still. This design is unique in the West Indies and was developed by the current proprietor Leopold Reimonenq. The fermented juice or "bunch" is heated indirectly by a serpentine heat exchanger. This allows incredible control during distillation and offers one of the highest quality distillates in Agricole Rhum today. The hot humid aging offers incredible depth of character yet doesn't hinder the inherent finesse of this high quality spirit.

Nose: An intense, amber color marked by gold nuances. The nose presents a very nice aromatic balance in which aromas of vanilla, candied fruit fresh cane, caramel pudding and cream cake (Basque cake) mix. The second nose reveals heavier aromas of liquorice, roasted coffee and undergrowth.

Palate: In the mouth, The balance is remarkable even if the rum is hotter at the end of the mouth. We find these pastry aromas at the end of the mouth, white pepper and this quality of aging linked to hot and humid conditions.
