ORIGINS: A meticulous selection is made of distillates from 3 distinct terroirs in the Caribbean Islands of Barbados, Trinidad and Jamaica. The intention of the Master Blender is to showcase the typicity of these terroirs in a perfect balance while highlighting the differences of each region. - DISTILLATION: The Chosen unaged rums are selected from both traditional refinement methods, as the ultimate goal is a blend that has the richness and intensity from the distillation of molasses in pot still combined with the delicacy and lightness from sugarcane distillation in columns. - BLENDING: These rums now voyages across the ocean to France to be blended by Cognac Master Jerome Tessendier. His intent is to create a unique harmony using the same methods as for cognac, blending the different island terroirs with their diverse floral, fruity and spicy aromatic profiles. - FINISHING: The blend rests in mature French oak barrels on the banks of the Charente River for 3 months. This last step gives a hint of roundness and smoothness to this fresh, fruity and floral blend. The rum is then gradually reduced to 40%; no sugar is added.

"This light and silky sipper from Cognac-maker Jerome Tessendier has a pleasing brown sugar and vanilla bean profile. The elongated finish is laced with cinnamon and nutmeg. Made with a blend of rums from Barbados, Trinidad and Jamaica aged up to five years in American white oak, the blended rum is then finished in Limousin casks in France's Cognac region."
