CHANTAL COMTE - Rhum hors d'âge - La Tour de l'Or 2006 - 57,7%
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 symbolically named this cuvée "La Tour de l'Or" to recall that, it is in Seville that the treasures of the New World, brought by the Caravels of Christopher Columbus, landed.
"La Tour de l'Or 2006" comes from the Lodge T in the cellars of La Mauny Distillery and was aged in French oak barrels: 20% in new French barrels (Forêt de Tronçais) and 80% in barrels having had Cognac content. Aging in barrels began on 04/08/2006 then the rum was aged for 10 years before being rested for 12 months in stainless steel tanks. The 2,000 bottles were bottled in April 2017.
