Takamaka Limited Edition Napa Laz White Rum 50cl
Takamaka Le Clos Napa Laz is the distillery's first 100% Seychellois sugar cane white rum. The master distiller meticulously controlled the fermentation process and carefully selected the 'hearts' during distillation. The 'heads' and 'tails' were redistilled to extract additional flavour, and the final blend comprises 16.5% of the year's hearts and 83.5% of the redistilled blend. Bottled at 53.4% ABV, the rum presents fresh aromas that evolve into herbaceous notes, green pepper, citrus zest, and exotic fruit. The palate offers a lively minerality balanced by fruity roundness, leading to notes of sourdough bread and umami. The long, lingering finish showcases mineral and peppery notes, echoing the initial aromas.
Transcontinental Rum Line Jamaica 2016 5 Year Old Rum
This first spends four years maturing under the Jamaican sun in American oak barrels, soaking up the island's unique character. Then, for a final year of refinement, it embarks on a trip to Europe. The aroma is a captivating blend of dried fruit, hinting at raisins and prunes, balanced with the warmth of black pepper, tobacco, and oak spice. A subtle smokiness adds intrigue, while notes of chocolate and cinnamon complete the inviting bouquet. The palate is a symphony of flavours, with vanilla sweetness intertwining with the grassy character of sugar cane. Zesty orange bursts through, followed by the rich comfort of caramel and cream. Hints of baking spices linger on the long finish, a testament to the rum's unique journey.
