This is a blend of selected rums aged for 15 years in American oak Bourbon casks, finished in Cognac casks (cuvée Napoléon).
The French oak of these barrels, and the delicate, complex flavor of Cognac with its characteristic fruitiness, give Napoleon its distinctive elegance and identity.
This rum is a limited edition.
Laurent's tasting notes
Its color is a coppery amber.
On the nose, it is relatively lively and the combination of different aromas is rather balanced. Caramel, orange, tobacco, sweet spices mainly, vanilla and nuts then. One might believe it to be a little more powerful than its 40°.
On the palate, the attack is soft, even sweet, but also woody. Orange, caramel and tobacco are the three main aromas.
The finish is quite long. The woody/sweet (and even slightly tannic) sensation mingles with the orange. A tobacco/smoke note gently takes over.
