Martinique has excelled in the art of aging for decades. Cellar masters were first inspired by French eaux-de-vie such as cognac, before developing a unique savoir-faire in harmony with a demanding tropical climate. Heat and humidity are extremely important factors, providing consistent maturation and concentration, but they become a major challenge as the years go by. Developing very old rums is therefore a remarkable feat, requiring constant attention and technical skill.
We have selected 5 of these great agricultural rums from Martinique, presented in 5cl samples:
- HSE Grande Réserve XO 43° which replaces the Depaz Single Cask 2003 45°
- Saint James Old 12 years 43°
- Bally Millésime 2005 43° which replaces the Bally Art Déco 42°
- JM XO 45°
- Trois Rivières 12 years 42°
A gift box is also provided to store or offer these samples, as well as a tasting glass to tame them like an expert.
A live event took place on August 12, 2021 with François from Rhum Attitude and Nadia Almonte, a rum enthusiast. Feel free to relive it:
