CHANTAL COMTE - Rhum vieux - 3 ans- L'arbre du voyageur - 53,5%
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 box No. 15 in the cellars of La Mauny Distillery and was aged in French oak barrels (Forêt de Tronçais). This old rum is aged for three years before being rested for 8 months in stainless steel tank. It was bottled in October 2018 and 3,000 bottles were drawn.
