CHANTAL COMTE - Rhum Blanc - Fighting Spirit Gold - 50%
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.
"Fighting Spirit" is a virile term used in Irish rugby that speaks more of the will to conquer rather than violence. It is also a spirit that had its moment of glory in the years 1914-18 and 1939-45 when rum was considered the support of soldiers during the two World Wars. This rum is part of the range of exceptional white rums in the Chantal Comte Collection. After "Fighting Spirit Red Line" and "Fighting Spirit Blue", this "Fighting Spirit Gold" embodies the power and the floral sweetness of this unique rum that deserved a precious bottle.
This rum comes from the Distillerie du Simon, on the Atlantic coast of the Martinique Island. This batch produced 6,000 bottles, silkscreen printed for Chantal Comte and bottled in April 2017.
