HSE Rhum Blanc Cuvée de l'an 2000


70cl 50% abv (100 proof)

2006 - Bronze Medal Winner at the London International Wine and Spirit Competition

Saint-Etienne Rhum Blanc Cuvée de l'an 2000 is 'Rhum Agricole', which is defined as rhum being distilled from the fermented juice of pressed sugar cane (called 'vessou') and not inferior molasses sugar-production by-product. This makes these rhums unlike virtually all other rums of the world, and in almost all cases, superior. This rhum blanc (locally known as 'Grappe Blanche'), can truly be called an 'eau-de-vie' of sugar cane, harvested and distilled in the exceptional year of 2000. It is also the only rhum/rum in the world which is progressively reduced from the 70% distillate down to 50% alcohol over a period of two years. Others typically reduce immediately after distillation, and then bottle shortly after or within a few months. This technique allows the rhum to 'rest' and develop far longer than any other white rhum, as part of the reduction is done naturally by evaporation. It also preserves the delicate aromas and mouth-feel by reducing the actual amount of water added. Its finesse, elegance and true cane sugar aromas are really outside of the norm found in most white rums and is a rare delight. If you want to know what white rhum is supposed to taste like, you have to try it!
Blancs are the local rum of choice and are best appreciated in the classic 'Créole Ti Punch' cocktail, but this special rhum makes a fabulous top-shelf mixer.
