Arhumatic Vinea Auri (70cl, 30%)

Arhumatic Vinea Auri is a French rhum arrangé at 30% ABV in a 700ml bottle. It is built on three rums — aged and unaged Jamaican rum plus rhum agricole from Guadeloupe — macerated with three raisin varieties (Corinth raisins from Greece, sultanas from Chile and South Africa) and a touch of cane sugar syrup. It was crafted in France by Clémence and Thierry Ogez, who founded Arhumatic in 2014. The nose is slightly woody with beautiful fruity purity of raisin. The palate is velvety, with spicy vanilla currants balanced by fruity, tangy golden raisins, richly decadent with a hint of mischief. The finish brings warm rum notes and wood from the Jamaican and Guadeloupe base. It should always be served chilled.
