This small batch of two casks from the Chalong Bay distillery (610 bottles in total) is the second bottle in a collection of limited editions inspired by the Thai lunar calendar, called the Lunar Series. Each year is symbolized by an animal and 2023 is dedicated to the Rabbit (Lunar Series #2) Distilled in Thailand then aged 26 months in Ex-Shochu casks (Kome Shochu) in Gers (France), this rum was bottled at its natural strength. Aged in a barrel that contained a traditional Japanese alcohol, a rice-based Shochu. Of remarkable voluptuousness and freshness, its aromatic and taste palette brilliantly restores the perfumes and flavors of cane juice of incredible purity. Crystalline and mineral, it is also vanilla, tangy and freshly herbaceous. Key points: 100% pure natural Thai sugar cane, hand-cut without burning Natural fermentation without added yeast No additives, no added sugars or flavors No chemical fertilizers or pesticides Copper Armagnac still and French distillation techniques No cold filtration Sustainably handmade in Thailand Aged 20 months in Ex-Shochu barrels in Gers (France) 60.7% alc. Vol. 70 cl. Tasting notes Nose: Both fresh and heady. Releasing succulent notes of vesou, the first nose is extremely fruity (pineapple, pear), lactic (almond, rice) and vegetal (sugar cane). HAS With aeration, scents of tuberose, geranium and mustard seed gradually take possession of the olfactory space. Palate: Elegant, dynamic. The attack on the palate is subtly vanilla, lemony and herbaceous. Long and thin, the mid-palate pours freshly squeezed sugar cane juice onto the tongue. More consistent, the finish evokes fibrous and syrupy cane. Finish: Long, full-bodied. Notes of vanilla, coconut milk and aromatic plants (rosemary, sage) give way to sweet spices (cinnamon, grated ginger) and honeyed (agave) and gourmet (rice pudding) flavors.
