Compagnie des Indes 1998 Barbados 16yo 45% 700ml information

The Compagnie des Indes 1998 Barbados 16yo is a single cask, traditional rum distilled at the renowned Foursquare Distillery, situated in the southeast of Barbados. This exquisite and limited edition bottling comprises only 354 bottles. Distilled using both pot still and double column still techniques, it was initially aged in a former bourbon barrel. The rum remained in Barbados until 2004 before being imported to France, where it continued to mature until its bottling in 2015. The aroma profile of this exceptional rum is particularly notable for its captivating scent of orange marmalade, striking a harmonious balance between sweetness and a slightly bitter note reminiscent of English marmalade. This is further enriched by hints of roasted apricots and coconut, bestowing a rich and indulgent character. There is also a dry and vivacious element akin to fine whisky. As it aerates, the aroma evolves to reveal exuberant notes of banana and spices. On the palate, the rum continues to impress with a balanced interplay of sweet and bitter orange marmalade, complemented by gourmet banana nuances. Peppery and floral notes keep the taste lively, leading to a well-balanced finish where the orange notes persist. This rum is truly a unique and rare gem, with a complex and intriguing flavor profile that will undoubtedly captivate rum enthusiasts and collectors alike.
