Vieux Sajous 2019/2024 is a five-year-old agricole rum distilled in 2019 at Chelo from fresh juice of the Cristalline sugar cane variety. After five years of tropical ageing in Haiti, distillates from 21 casks were blended; those casks had previously held rum from Mount Gay, Bielle, Caroni and Hampden, Tennessee whiskey from Jack Daniel's, single malt from Benriach, and bourbon. The 2024 release comprised 2,667 bottles at 58.3%.
The rum contrasts fresh sugar cane, rubber and arnica with honey, flowers and tropical fruit, with strong spices, cocoa and menthol freshness. The nose moves from rubber and arnica to lime, syrupy cane sugar, ginger and cinnamon, then honey, geranium, lily, iris and kiwi. The palate has clove, black pepper, vanilla, ripe banana, spice bread and cane honey; the finish is long and meaty with cocoa, candied notes, ginseng, dahlia and crème brûlée, plus milky coconut, roasted apple and light menthol.
