Saison Caribbean Rum (75cl, 42%)

Saison is a barrel-aged rum blended from distillates of Barbados, Trinidad and Jamaica. Pot-still molasses rum gives richness and intensity, while column-distilled sugar cane rum adds delicacy and lightness. The rums age for up to five years in American white oak in the Caribbean, then travel to France, where a cognac master blender combines them using cognac methods. The blend rests for nine months in French oak barrels beside the Charente River, which brings a note of rancio. It is reduced gradually to 42% with no sugar added, and comes in a 75cl bottle.
