Dzama Cuvée Noire Prestige is a blend of rums from Ambilobé and Namakia, two distilleries in northeast Madagascar.
This region is particularly dense in vanilla plants. The roots of the sugar cane intermingle with those of the vanilla, giving this rum particularly intense vanilla flavours.
Nico's tasting notes
The nose is soft and caramelized, reminiscent of vanilla cookie. Like buttery cake batter, the aromas nestle in a comfortable, gourmet roundness. Aeration rids the rum of its lighter alcoholic notes, and the vanilla escapes with them. Milk jam, cream icing and candy sugar remain.
The palate remains exactly the same, but with a little more spice. The buttery cookie is sprinkled with sweet pepper and a hint of aniseed. The alcohol tickles and shakes the taste buds a little, but the vanilla soothes it all very quickly.
The finish is sweet and a little flowery. A little cherry/vanilla sweetness comes in at the very last moment.
"A very biscuity, round and gourmand profile, a rum for snacking..."
