Saison Caribbean Pale Rum (75cl, 40%)

Saison Caribbean Pale Rum is a white rum blended from unaged Caribbean rums from Barbados, Trinidad and Jamaica. It is rested for three months in mature French oak barrels on the banks of the Charente in France, with no added sugar or caramel. Pot-still molasses distillation gives richness, while column-distilled cane gives delicacy. The short oak rest rounds the edges without adding colour or heavy wood. Blended by Cognac Master Jérôme Tessendier, it is the cocktail-workhorse expression of the Saison range. Bright cane and tropical fruit come from the unaged blend, with a whisper of vanilla and roundness from the short French-oak rest. It drinks clean, lively and dry rather than sweet.
