- Description
- Rhum du Matelot is a Caribbean rum imported by Bordeaux-based Mamita Rhum, with this bottling dating to the 1970s and exemplifying the naval-style traditions of its era. Rich and complex on the palate, this vintage rum carries the depth that comes from decades of maturation in wood. The texture is warming and full-bodied, with lingering spice and molasses notes. Best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube, allowing the spirit's history and character to shine.
