Fortin 8 ans is a Paraguayan rum made from pure cane honey fermented and distilled in column stills. After a long ageing period in the distillery's cellar, allowing it to absorb the aromas of the ex-bourbon oak casks used, the old rum obtained is sophisticated both on the nose and the palate.
Laurent's tasting note
Its dress is of a warm gold.
On the nose, it is not very intense and plays more on finesse. The light aromas that dominate are butterscotch (quite distinct) and vanilla (more discreet). There is a vegetal note which gives the whole a little more vivacity.
In the mouth the attack is round. The rum is less shy here and becomes drier as the seconds pass. We find the notes of the nose but not only since the woody notes appear as well as the sweet spices. The texture is pleasant.
The finish is moderately long and the woodiness becomes more prominent until the tannins come out. The caramel is still there and is definitely the main marker of this rum. This little vegetal something makes an appearance again and gives a little more freshness.
