    This was* a grand arôme from Le Galion which is the only distillery in Martinque that produce rum made from molasses, as well as cane syrup. The unaged spirit was bought from the danish company 1423, then aged for about three years and two months in Varberg on lightly toasted oak that came from Ringamåla. The size of the cask was 40L and had been filled three times. First time with rum from Panama and second time with rum from Venezuela. The rum was most likely distilled in 2019 (same batch as other A-bay private casks from Le Galion, and probably the same as other releases from S.B.S: Martinique & French Antilles from 2019. Though It’s hard to get this confirmed). Very tasty and a excellent treat! Softer and not quite as wild as Cassis Noir de Martinque but still a restrained bomb! *Grand arôme rum cannot be aged according to Martinique's AOC so technically it's not.

    Extremt spännande provning, inget mys framför eldstaden, men god.
