Depaz Rhum Blanc Agricole Cuvée Montagne (70cl, 45%)

A white rhum agricole from Distillerie Depaz, made solely from sugar cane juice harvested on the slopes of Montagne Pelée. It carries the AOC Martinique protected designation of origin. After a long fermentation, the alcohol is reduced very slowly over at least 60 days, and the rhum rests for at least three months in stainless steel tanks before bottling at 45%. Fruit, flowers and a mineral nuance meet a soft, honey-like taste with spicy accents. The nose combines fruity and floral aromas with a mineral nuance. The palate opens softly, then shows sweet honeyed fruit notes with a floral accent, followed by sugar cane, orange blossom and banana, with pepper and tobacco. The finish shows pepper and tobacco notes.
