Emperor Deep Blue Palo Cortado Finish 40°: Description and customer reviews

Emperor Deep Blue Palo Cortado Finish 40° is a unique experiment by the Mauritian brand. This island is fortunate to be able to produce both pure cane juice rums and molasses rums. Emperor takes advantage of this to offer a blend of 40% pure juice rum (aged 12 years) and 60% molasses rum (aged 5 to 7 years). The rums were blended and then put into old Palo Cortado sherry casks for a further 8 months.

And that's where the experiment gets crazy, because once bottled, the rum was lowered to a depth of 60 meters, in an underwater cellar off the coast of Brittany. For 10 months, in the dark, at a temperature of 10-13°C, with no oxygen and 6 bars of pressure, the rum bottles acquired a unique profile and appearance.

Nico's tasting notes

The nose shows all the characteristics of sherry cask at first sight. It's a teeming profile of walnut, wood, sulfur and gunflint. Between the meshes of this tight net, a few scarves of sweet fruit manage to make their way.

Aeration removes the woody notes, revealing a deep rum, marked by dark, fleshy fruit, like a dark, candied plum. A few flashes of freshness and fruit emerge from time to time, and we appreciate these exotic splashes of banana and papaya.

The palate is that of a well-concentrated molasses rum, with accents of leather, truffle and ripe licorice wood. The palate is then rounded, with honeyed flavors, like a sweet white wine.

The finish sees the return of the sherry cask and its almost mineral flavors.

"A rather exotic, concentrated rum, contained in a powdery sherry cask..."
