"Issue du plus généreux des terroirs, notre canne à sucre donne naissance au rhum le plus raffiné qui soit : Havana Club Vieilli en fûts de chêne, cet 'Añejo Especial' se distingue par ses chaleureux tons ambr&s et ses arômes exceptionnels. Il se déguste sur glace ou se marie délicieusement avec un cola.
"Un cocktail national de Cuba : le Cuba Libre. Il doit son nom au cri de ralliement des indépendantistes cubains.
"Dans un verre haut, verser 5 cL de 'Añejo Especial' , quelques gouttes de jus de citron vert et 2 ou 3 glaçons. Allonger de cola et décorer d'une rondelle de citron."
A good value for the price.

Rhum du Père Labat
"A la fin du XVIIème siècle, le révérend Père Labat perfectionna la distillation du jus de canne à sucre pour créer le Rhum.
"Aujourd'hui culture, coupe et ramassage de la canne, toujours entièrement manuels, sont respectueux du terroir particulier de Marie-Galante.
"Grâce à nos méthodes artisanales de distillation nous fabriquons, à partir du pur jus de canne à sucre, un Rhum à la richesse aromatique unique. Notre taille réduite et notre exigence permet de réaliser un nombre limité de bouteilles de Rhum, fin au nez, délicat en bouche et avec une longue persistance aromatique."
59% ABV.

Sur ses propres plantations situées à Sainte Marie, Saint James distille et élève ses rhums, veillant à en préserver la qualité exceptionnelle, qui a assuré sa réputation dans le monde."

Matusalem Rum Gran Reserva Solera 15
"Durant l'ère prospère de Cuba, le plus recherché des rhums était le Matusalem, créé à Santiago de Cuba en 1872 par une société familiale dont les fondateurs avaient conçu une formule secrète de distillation et d'assemblage. Matusalem Gran Reserva est produit à partir de rhums présélectionnés vieillis en fûts de chêne et assemblés selon la méthode de la Solera avec une cœur d'assemblage de 15 ans d'âge. Le rhum ainsi créé offre une saveur et une douceur exceptionnelles qui en font un produit sans équivalent. Aujourd'hui Matusalem, un des plus fins rhums du monde, est fabriqué dans la République Dominicaine selon la formule secrète crée par une famille en 1872."

Ron Zacapa Centenario 23
"A MASTERPIECE
"Guatemala is a land bathed by the fire of volcanoes and the water from two oceans: it is a land where spring reigns eternally. From this unique landscape a masterpiece is crafted: Zacapa Centenario.
"Zacapa Centenario is specially created to commemorate the centennial foundation of the city of Zacapa, located in the eastern part of the country.
"THE SWEET ESSENCE
"No other place is as suitable as the south coast of Guatemala for the cultivation of sugar cane. The tropical sun shines all year round. NUmerous rivers refresh and nourish the soil, depositing rich minerals formed by the intense volcanic activity that has taken place here for millions of year.
"From the first pressing of sugar cane comes virgin honey. This marks the beginning of a unique journey at the hands of a Master Blender, taking the virgin honey through the process of fermentation, distillation, and aging that culminates in the sublime flavor of Zacapa Centenario.
"SOLERA GRAN RESERVA
"The epitome of our Master Blender is Zacapa Centenario 23. The unique complexity of aromas and flavors results from the special blend of reserve rums made from virgin sugar cane honey. We select them from a 'Sistema Solera' that consists of rums that are aged between 6 and 23 years. The process takes place in barrels that previously stored robust Bourbons, delicate Sherries and fine Pedro Ximenez wines.
"In the 'Sistema Solera' art and tradition encourage the blending of rums of different ages and personalities so that they may continue to mature in select barrels. This is a dynamic and artisanal process that culminates only after maturity is reached, when the complexity of aromas and flavors confirm that a unique rum has been developed.
"HOUSE IN THE CLOUDS
"All this takes place in out aging house in the Guatemalan highlands, at an altitude of 2300 meters above sea level and above the clouds. We know it is this special microclimate that helps shape the complex and delicate flavors of Zacapa Centenario 23.
"A TRAJECTORY OF AWARDS
"Zacapa Centanario was entered in its first rum tasting contest on the initiative of an adorer of our rum, who had come upon it on his own. He was right... the aged rum that he had encountered by chance obtained the overall first place in the premium category. Since then, Zacapa Centenario has received numerous accolades from experts from around the world in each competition where it has participated.
"Five years after winning the prize, Zacapa Centenario was inducted into the Rum International Hall of Fame at the International Rum Festival 2003.
"A unique combination of nature, tradition and the art of our Master Blender, Zacapa Centenario represents the foremost achievement of Rones de Guatemala. Enjoy it in the company of good friends."
This is the best rum I tasted so far, period.

Clément Rhum Vieux Agricole
"Ce rhum vieux Clément est issu de la distillation du seul jus de la canne à sucre. Elaborés à l'Habitation Clement, faisant alterner durant la période de vieillissement l'emploi de fûts neufs et d'autres plus anciens, les Rhums Vieux Clement s'apprécient en punch ou en digestif."
This rum is a fine "rhum vieux agricole" matured for at least 3 years is barrels. I made a nice drink as a variation of the Mai Tai.
1 part old Jamaican rum (I used Plantation Jamaica 8 yo 1998)
1 part rhum vieux agricole (I used Clément Rhum Vieux Agricole)
1 part lime juice
1/2 part orange liqueur (I used Cointreau)
1/2 part simple syrup (I used a bar spoon granulated sugar)
2 parts raspberry nectar (I used Alain Milliat's Nectar Framboise)
1 dash of orange flower water
Shake all ingredients on ice. Strain in a cocktail glass. Garnish with mint leaves (I used a fancy lime wedge instead because I had no mint). This is a miraculously perfect drink. The two persons with whom I drank this said it was their favourite cocktail ever! I think it is in the same category as Mai Tai, which I believe is one of the best drink that exists.
44% ABV

Plantation Jamaican Old Reserve 1998
"Made by traditional methods and aged in small oak casks. A very fine rum. Colour: Mahogany. Nose: wide range of highly exotic aromas of cooked bananas, coconutsand sweets. Taste: a generous rum for gourmets, with great complexity."
This is an excellent rum that can be easily drunk neat. I tried it in a Mai Tai (1 part Plantation Jamaican Old Reserve 1998, 1 part Dilon Rhum Agricole 55%, 1/2 orgeat syrup Moulin de Valdonne, 1/2 part Cointreau, 3/4 part lime juice, 1/4 part sugar cane syrup) and it is absolutely gorgeous. Probably my favourite cocktail so far.
42% ABV. Rhum Plantation.
