- Description
- Hunter Laing's independent bottling of Montebello rum, distilled in Guadeloupe in 1998 and aged for 24 years in a single cask, captures the distillery's signature balance between fruit and subtlety. Aromas of orange peel and dark stone fruits dominate the nose, with pastry notes and a whisper of smoke lending complexity to the profile. The palate is rich and layered, reflecting decades of maturation in oak. This bottling suits those seeking Caribbean rum with restraint and elegance, best savoured neat or with minimal dilution.
