World Esters is the new project of Anthony Martins, the Toulouse-based wine merchant also behind the Old Brothers brand. This blend of white molasses rums is primarily intended for mixology. Its powerful yet balanced aromatic character will be at home in all cocktail disciplines.
The blend brings together some of the great names in Caribbean and Indian Ocean rum, from Barbados, Jamaica and Reunion. The blend's main rum comes from the WIRD distillation columns, and a few drops of STCE (Long Pond) and HERR (Savanna), distilled in traditional stills, have been added to enhance the blend and give it a very tropical, exotic style.
Nico's tasting notes
The nose is a veritable bonbon, a sweetness of red fruits, exotic fruit syrups such as passion fruit, mango and pineapple, rounded out by a touch of coconut milk.
Aeration releases a wilder, more organic aspect, where the fermenting molasses is more intensely felt. The exotic fruit becomes increasingly ripe, to the point of going over the edge, much to our delight.
The palate is very smooth, giving us plenty of time to enjoy this little red-fruit cream. A hint of herbs and spices gently grabs the taste buds, giving us a glimpse of concentrated, resinous fruit notes.
The finish continues with fruit, banana candy, and red and black berries.
"A little aromatic bomb that turns into a creamy bonbon on the palate..."
