Rum D'Arche Distilled and Matured Rum Sauternes Cask Finish, #

A Caribbean rum that has been matured at Chateau d’Arche in barrels used by the Grand Cru to make sweet Sauternes. Sauternes is fermented and matured for eighteen months in French oak barrels and during this time, the oak acts like a sponge so that the golden liquid penetrates within the barrels’ staves whilst vanilla toasty oak flavours are ceded to the wine. In the past, the barrels would have been sold on or discarded but today the team purchase high quality spirits and use their savoir faire to mature in oak. The rum is imported from the Carribean young and fiery; after some months in barrel, all the edges have been rounded. Bright and golden in colour, it has deliciously sweet mellow aromas of rum ‘n raisin ice cream, vanilla and cocoa. Similar flavours on the palate lead to a long spicy, treacle finish.
