The Brothers of the Coast - Hispaniola n°5 - 18 years old - Finish Pedro Ximenez - 61.8%
Hispaniola or Haiti, also called Santo Domingo, is a Caribbean island whose name was given by Christopher Columbus. It is shared between two countries: Haiti and the Dominican Republic. A climate particularly suited to the development of rums with a strong temperament!
The Brothers of the Coast are a group of importers/bottlers of products exclusively transported by sailboats . The company was created in 2015 by two French sailboat captains: Raphaël and François Mangin . The Rhums Frères de la Côte have been bottled since 2017 in their depot located in Saint-Etienne in the Loire. They sail on the Très Hombres , a 32-meter Brigantine-type sailboat, without engine, for 35 tons of cargo. Since 2010, the Très Hombres has completed 12 Atlantic rotations from its home port in the Netherlands. In 2019, a new company ( La Compagnie des Frères de la Côte ) was created with the aim of rehabilitating the sailboat Zeehaen , Brigantine of more than 45 meters for 120 tons of cargo. The concept is to develop a fleet of cargo sailboats offering an alternative to current transport , and to restore a more human value to the transport of transatlantic goods with a trade closer to ecology than to the economy.
This molasses rum comes from the Oliver & Oliver distillery in the Dominican Republic . It comes from a century-old Solera system, in a tropical climate and composed of old Bourbon barrels in North American white oak. It was then transferred to a cask that had contained Pedro Ximénez where it underwent a dynamic 2-month aging on board the Brigantine Très Hombres, which allowed it to refine its aromas. This cask strength delivers unforgettable flavors of dried fruits and cocoa.
An exceptional rum, which has benefited from exceptional treatment and in a limited edition: 900 bottles have been produced.
