Montebello 8 years Winch edition comes from the Carrère distillery in Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe.
This vintage rhum agricole has been aged in 180-liter ex-bourbon American oak barrels.
We were able to pick up the last stocks of this edition, which has been out of production for a long time...
Yoann's tasting notes
The nose of this old rum plunges us directly into a woody, slightly humid register, with fine and elegant notes. A caramel sprinkled with peppercorns makes its way to the nose then, little by little, the nuts take over: they are roasted and seem to rub shoulders with dried prunes.
The palate takes the same direction with an assortment of roasted dried fruits. A toasted coconut enriches our palate with its presence and comes to coat it with fluidity. The spices are timid, the woodiness is elegant and a hazelnut butter leaves a very slightly greasy impression.
The finish is rather long, with nuts and a rich and delicious vanilla.
