Rivière du Mât Rhum Arrangé Ananas Caramélisé (70cl, 35%)

A rhum arrangé based on white rum from the Rivière du Mât distillery on La Réunion, macerated with pineapple and selected spices. The distillery was founded in 1886 in Saint-Benoît and processes molasses from the island's sugar cane. This recipe received a gold medal at the Concours Général Agricole 2020. The drink has an amber colour with copper reflections and is bottled at 35% in 0.7 litre bottles. It can be enjoyed neat at room temperature or over ice. The nose is dominated by pineapple, with orange, mango, lilac and lavender and a light spice in the background. The palate is full-bodied and fruit-forward, with pineapple, papaya, pomegranate, clover honey and cedar wood. The medium-length finish remains fruity and sweet.
