Les Frères de la Côte - Foursquare - 11 years old - Brut de Fût - Finish Moscatel - 65.1%
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 old rum comes from the Foursquare distillery in Barbados . It is a blend of rums distilled in 2010 in alembic and column and aged in Bourbon barrels until January 2021. It was then transferred to a barrel that had contained Moscatel (a sweet white wine from Portugal) where it underwent a dynamic aging of 4 months aboard the Brigantine Très Hombres. The rum then rested for 9 months in the cellars of Saint-Etienne. 910 bottles were produced.
