R74 Small Batch Alpine (70cl)

R74 is an alpine rum made from sugar cane molasses, distilled in small copper stills with double steam-bath distillation. It then rests for three years in oak casks that previously formed part of the Solera ageing system for Gravensteiner Caldiff apple distillate, giving the spirit its characteristic fruity character. The meeting of an apple distillate and Central American molasses brings rich notes of plum, cinnamon, raisin, date and almond, interwoven with fresh, fruity notes of South Tyrolean apples. Broad wood notes support the other aromas without dominating them. It is a complex, articulated and balanced rum despite its young age, stimulating nose and palate and inviting slow discovery.
