Zetwal Polaris combines matured rhums from the 2000, 2005, 2012 and 2013 distillation years, usually intended for the Armada collection. They come from the distillery's copper Savalle column. The assemblage shows a pronounced fruity character with floral, spicy and sweet accents.
Polaris opens the Zetwal series and is dedicated to the Pole Star; Zetwal means star in Creole. The ship motif on the carafe reflects this maritime connection. The vessel was designed by Sébastien Schalchli of Le Secret Magnifique and made by Portuguese crystal manufacturer Vista Alegre. Before bottling in 2023, the assemblage was reduced slightly to 49.4%. The crystal carafe holds 0.7 litres and is delivered in a wooden box.
Tasting Notes
Fine and fresh: apricot and pepper first, then banana, guava and candied ginger, with geranium flowers, roses, redcurrants and raspberries.
Lively, beginning with fine liquorice and lavender honey, before orange and grapefruit quickly emerge; in the middle, salted butter caramel and the taste of warm raw sugar.
Long and balanced, starting with a fibrous sugar-cane impression, then candied apricots, quince jelly, mango purée and flambéed bananas, with a soft, powdery mouthfeel.
