La danse de l'ours is the third vintage from Justin, aka l'Ours. Justin runs a very friendly YouTube channel, well known to rum lovers.
This rum is produced by the Moux family, who have run the small Tahitian distillery of the same name since 1991. The distillery has been producing Tamure rum since 1992, the year it obtained authorization to distill.
This selection was born of a meeting and friendship between Youk Moux and Justin. It was during a tasting that they decided to create this bottling together, so that enthusiasts could enjoy authentic, hand-crafted products.
The rum was distilled in April 2021 in an artisanal copper still made in Brazil. It is heated over a wood fire and has a small rectification column. The brandy freshly produced from pure sugar cane juice has a strength of 82°. It is then put in demijohn for a little less than 2 years in order to benefit from long aeration and mixing.
No reductions or additions have been made. The rum itself lost 1.6° since it was bottled at 80.4° in February 2023. Thanks to this very first Tamure column brut, you will find the DNA of the distillery and the Tahitian terroir in your glass.
Only 200 bottles are sold. Bottles of this ultra-limited "historic" edition are hand-numbered.
The packaging is simple and unpretentious, in the image of this cuvée.
