We're proud to present this 3-year-old rhum vieux pur jus de canne distilled, aged and bottled in Tahiti by the Manutea distillery. It is available exclusively on our website.
We have selected this cask from others destined for the local market.
Indeed, the balance is perfect between the roundness and greediness of Banyuls barrel ageing on the one hand, and the power of unreduced bottling on the other.
300 bottles were bottled for this brut de fût single cask.
Nico's tasting notes
The nose immediately expresses a beautiful expression of cane, enhanced by a touch of solvent that attests to the rum's concentration. A few aromatics add a subtle, chlorophyllated, almost mentholated breeze that keeps the note high and enthusiastic. Exotic fruits such as banana are expressive, but also retain their freshness.
With aeration, a perfect balance is achieved between ripe fruit, cane, the velvety freshness of aromatics, and a light spicy caramel. A slightly more roasted character develops as the rum rests, and coffee accents seek out further fruity notes, which then turn more to cherries and prunes in brandy.
The palate, like the nose, is very expressive and tasty, without excess or aggressiveness. The cane is lively, brilliant and round at the same time. It is surrounded by a concentrate of ripe exotic fruit, sometimes fermented and acidic, sometimes sweet and velvety. These are enhanced by a hint of tannin, quickly washed away by a drop of solvent, which opens the way to a very vegetal, mentholated freshness.
The finish is typical of the Manutea style, with a cane au naturel enhanced by licorice and almost aniseed.
"The typicity and freshness of pure Manutea juice, sublimated by a superb concentration of mellow, fruity tannins..."
Pauline's tasting notes
On the nose, esters evolve on gourmand notes of flambéed bananas. On aeration, the notes become toasty and cocoa-like. A hint of caramel fills the glass.
On the palate, the attack is frank and fruity. Woody flavors envelop the flambéed banana.
The finish is long and persistent. Hints of licorice add freshness.
