Emperor Private Collection Château Pape Clément 42°: Description and customer reviews

This barrel-finished Château Pape Clément is the top-of-the-range product from the Mauritian Emperor brand.

Like the other rums in the range, this is also a blend of pure cane juice and molasses rums. The rums here have been aged between 5 and 12 years. The blend was then matured for a further 5 months in a barrel of Château Pape Clément, one of Bordeaux's oldest Grands Crus (1st harvest in 1252!).

Nico's tasting notes

In brief: spicy - vanilla - walnut - muscovado - prune - coffee

The nose is fairly light, with alcohol wafting off in floral vapors. The petals of these flowers are velvety and seem to be powdered with spices. The spices are quite pungent, tickling the nose like a pinch of pepper. Everything is softened by vanilla sugar, and the cask and aging have given the rum some notes of oxidation (walnut), toast and caramel.
Aeration further enhances these notes of nuts and oxidation, these precious notes being nicely dressed with muscovado sugar. In the same vein, ground nuts mingle with gunflint, then prune stone, before embracing the whole prune. All this gives the rum a Sherry edge, with the powdery spirit of Navy-style rums.

The palate is sweet and spicy at the same time. The cane sugar syrup is infused with roasted spices and coffee, so the texture is very grippy, especially as the woodiness is strongly toasted. The powdery side of the coffee comes through well on the palate, in the form of coffee grounds and toasted wood dust.

The finish is much rounder, the vanilla simply perfumed with coffee and prune.

"The nose is completely consistent with the palate, the rum seduces with its roundness then grips with its roasted character..."
