Paris Séduction Rhum Guyana/Jamaique

Twelve Guyana Jamaïque is an original blend of 4 casks, one from Guyana and 3 from Jamaica. The rums are 7-8 years old, and are bottled “brut de fût”, in Aubrac, by the Twelve distillery.

On the nose, the gentle sourness of Jamaican rums marks its territory. Here we are in a world of full-bodied, fragrant English-style rums, where very ripe exotic fruits reign supreme. A few oxidised and roasted nuts provide the backdrop, with the walnut offering a nice relief and density. Aeration removes this very fruity, tropical air, slightly soaked in solvent, to reveal much deeper, blended notes of prunes and walnuts.

The palate is powerful and punchy, but also offers a certain fatness that is immediately reassuring. It oscillates between the acidity of big Jamaican rums swollen with dunder and the rough, powdery texture of old Demerara. In any case, we're dealing with a fine concentration of fruit, encased in a well toasted cask, whose wood smells of maple syrup, cooked sugar and soy sauce. On the finish, the well-settled molasses rolls over the walnut, until it coats it completely.
