Eminente Rum Gran Reserva 10 Year Old Sauternes Cask Finish (70cl, 43.2%)

Eminente Gran Reserva Edition No. 2 is a Cuban rum aged for at least ten years, bottled at 43.2% ABV. It consists of 80% aguardiente, a molasses spirit, blended with light rum. The rum matures in white oak casks previously containing whisky before a finish in former Sauternes wine casks. For this edition, César Martí selects aguardientes matured in a dry warehouse in central Cuba, where water evaporates faster than alcohol, contributing to the 43.2% strength. The Sauternes casks add a sweet, fruity side to the spicy character, with dried fruit, apricot, mango and pineapple notes alongside woody accents. It can be enjoyed neat or with a large ice cube.
