- Description
- This 2010 Mauritian rum from Labourdonnais was aged in refill American oak before a finishing period in ex-Cognac casks, a combination that yields unexpected depth. Soft golden aromas of syrup and oak spice precede a palate of tropical fruit—mango, banana, guava—interwoven with ginger, apricot, and caramel notes. The Cognac cask finish adds oak sophistication and warmth without overwhelming the rum's inherent fruit character. Sip neat or with a single ice cube to appreciate how both maturation stages inform the final spirit.
