CHANTAL COMTE - Rhum Blanc - L'arbre du voyageur - 60,2%
From a family that settled in the Caribbean since 1964, Chantal Comte is a rum-passionate to which she was initiated by two great specialists: André Depaz and Paul Hayot. Owner of the estate of Château de la Tuilerie in Nîmes, where she was also the winemaker, she now devotes herself completely to her job of selecting exceptional rums. It is André Depaz, owner of the Plantation of the Mount Pelée, who pushes her to create a job that did not exist then in rum but is common in the world of whisky: whisky blender and bottler.
Chantal Comte named "L'Arbre du Voyageur" some young and fiery rums to remind us that the traveller's tree planted at the entrance of West Indian homes is a sign of welcome.
This batch comes from the tank No. 212 in the cellars of the La Mauny Distillery in Martinique. The rum was bottled in October 2018 and it was pulled from this vintage 1,200 bottles numbered from 0001 to 1200.
