- Description
- Montebello's agricole rum from Guadeloupe was distilled in 1998 and aged for 23 years, crafted from hand-harvested sugar cane grown in the volcanic soils of Petit-Bourg, Goyave, Basse-Terre, Lamentin, and Sainte-Rose. The extended maturation has developed a complex, aged character with layers of caramel, dried fruit, and subtle spice. At 43.3% ABV, this bottling represents the terroir-driven quality that defines top-tier Agricole production. Best suited to sipping neat or with minimal dilution to appreciate the depth of flavour.
