Tasting notes for the Vieux Rhum de la Martinique 1900

  • EYE: This 1900 rum reveals a dark and enchanting amber color, offering a glimpse into the years of maturation and the richness of its heritage.
  • NOSE: An enigmatic rum that unveils subtle aromas of island vanilla, sugarcane molasses, and candied fruits. Woody notes, without a precisely determinable origin, bring intriguing complexity to this olfactory ensemble.
  • MOUTH: The Old Martinique Rum 1900 presents a palate that is both rich and balanced. Flavors of melted caramel, honey, and black pepper elegantly intertwine, leaving a delicate imprint on the palate.

 

In short: A rum from the Martinique, carefully aged since 1900, provides a superb experience for discerning enthusiasts. The richness of its aromatic and gustatory profile is amplified by the mystery surrounding its origin (as we do not know its producer), creating a unique tasting experience. Pair this exceptional rum with dishes that complement its mystery, such as marinated salmon carpaccio with exotic spices, grilled shrimp skewers, caramelized pineapple tarte Tatin, dark chocolate truffles, and aged cheeses.

Vintage Rum

 

The "Vieux Rhum de la Martinique" is one of the many molasses rum brands that were mass imported by French spirits merchants during the mid 19th century. The Martinique Rum had been sold in France since the late 17th century, but a decree signed by Emperor Napoleon III completely removed the customs fees that applied to alcohol imports. Hence, its popularity exploded. In the early 20th century, Martinique became the number one rum importer in the world. The labels of this specific brand (bottled in 1841, according to the illustrations) were designed by "J. Latapie, Imprimerie Lithographique", a French printing company based in Toulouse, possibly around 1882.
