This rum from the Esperance Distillery in Guadeloupe is an unreduced brut de fût rum. It’s made from Red Cane, R579, from plot No 1. After the distillation in their Creole column, it’s aged for 4 years in new French oak barrels whereafter it’s bottled in 2000 bottles. The nose is spicy, fruity, woody and vegetal with scents of citrus, orange and chocolate and plums. At the palate it’s intense, woody, fruity and a little oily with flavors of citrus, orange, apple, peaches and grape. The finish is rather long, fruity and tannic with flavors of pears, peaches and plums.
Clairement pas le rhum avec lequel débuter une dégustation, sous peine de voir son palais anesthésié. Le nez annonce la couleur avec une forte présence d’alcool et des notes de verdure sur la canne, les herbes et le tabac, avant que les agrumes n’apportent de la rondeur. Le piment et le boisé viennent donnent un peu de complexité olfactive, mais le profil ne plaisante pas avec nous. L’attaque en bouche relève d’un style plutôt hardcore. On dirait qu’une bombe liquide a explosé au palais et a rasé tout ce qui se trouvait sur son passage. Les très fortes notes d’épices sur le piment et le gingembre accentuent la chaleur, qui a éclipsé les fruits. Il lui faut beaucoup de temps pour se libérer et s’exprimer sans risquer la déflagration. La finale, tout aussi extrême, se veut de facto très longue et s’apparente à un souffle ardent et épicé. Les notes herbacées viennent apporter un peu de fraîcheur qui adoucit un centième de la puissance réelle. Étonnant que le logo « inflammable » ne soit pas sur l’étiquette, c’est clairement un rhum à manier avec précaution. Toutefois, le prix déjà élevé devrait dissuader les quelques téméraires qui s’y risquerait.
