Saison Reserve Caribbean Rum (75cl, 43.5%)

Saison Reserve Caribbean Rum is a Caribbean rum blend bottled at 43.5% ABV. It combines Barbados 30%, Trinidad 65% and Jamaica 5%, distilled from molasses in pot stills and sugar cane in column stills. The blend is aged up to eight years in American white oak in the Caribbean, then finished for twelve months in mature French oak barrels that previously held cognac. It is assembled barrel by barrel by Cognac Master Jérôme Tessendier and bottled with no sugar or caramel added. The blend shows dark fruit, molasses and baking spice from the Caribbean ageing, with dried fig, walnut and a round, polished texture from the ex-cognac French oak. The small Jamaican share adds a high, fruity lift to the finish.
