Compagnie des Indes Spiced is certainly the last string missing from Compagnie des Indes' bow: spiced rum. The Burgundy-based company was one of the first to offer demanding blends and single casks to the French public. Now they're offering us a bit of fun, with this rum for cocktails.
This blend from the Dominican Republic and Venezuela benefits from natural spice maceration. Rather than using artificial flavors, Florent Beuchet infused a blend of ginger, vanilla and cinnamon for two weeks. As a result, the color is natural and comes from the spices. As always, transparency is the order of the day, and we are told that 15 grams per liter of organic cane syrup have been added.
Nico's tasting notes
The nose of this spiced is extremely fresh. Its herbal, spicy and finely fruity notes give the impression of a real perfume. Ginger generously releases its peppery, lemony aromas, while cinnamon and vanilla begin to advance their comforting sweetness.
The palate is initially gripped by a resolutely "spicy" side, with ginger that blows hot and cold. It's reminiscent of exotic peppers like timut or sechuan, with hints of fruit, especially citrus.
On the finish, cinnamon joins the fruit to create a little Christmas cookie. Vanilla caresses the palate and is accompanied by a well-rounded sensation.
"An invigorating spiced rum that doesn't do things by halves and retains a lovely energy from start to finish..."
