Rhum Grima | Rhodeus | Pure sugar cane juice rum | Mauritius | 70 cl | 45.1

History Originally, Grima was a port on the Garonne located in Cadaujac, the birthplace of Maison Mounicq. It used to be used as a river stopover for Graves wines bound for Bordeaux. With its strong wine-growing and naval past, the Gironde capital has contributed greatly, for centuries, to the spread of rum in the metropolis. His story largely inspired the Nadé brothers in the development of their rum: thus Grima was born. Embark on a journey to exotic destinations and let yourself be carried away by these tastings. For this vintage, Grima highlights a collaboration between Bordeaux and Mauritian terroir. This pure sugar cane juice rum, from the Grays Distillery, was initially aged for three years in old red Cognac barrels. Then refined in two old barrels from Château de Bonhoste which had contained Sauvignon Gris. Its name Rhodeus pays homage to the emblematic fish present in the Garonne, the Rhodeus.   Conception Provenance: Pure fresh sugar cane juice / Mauritius Distillation: In column / Grays Distillery Aging: 3 years / ex red Cognac barrels Finishing: 2 months Blend: 2 ex Sauvignon Gris barrels from Château de Bonhoste (Bordeaux): - Barrel n°1: Berthomieu cooperage / pre-heated with steam / blond toast (light) / French oak - Barrel n°2: Jarnac cooperage / medium-long toast to the core / French wood Specificity: no coloring / no added sugar / not cold filtered / slow reduction with spring water Aromatic profile Rhodeus is a pure sugar cane juice rum offering remarkable freshness and lightness, although it has an alcohol content of 45.1°.
