Compagnie des Indes Latino comes from a blend of rums essentially of "Spanish" type (60% comes from Guatemala) but not only, since a part of the rum which composes it comes from Guyana (English influence).The Spanish type brings the greediness while the English influence brings a touch of freshness. 5 years of aging in new barrels (bourbon) have allowed this rum to acquire its roundness and a rich palette of aromas. The rum was bottled without cold filtration.
Made from a blend of Central American rums with a very strong Latin dominance (60% Guatemalan rums), and a touch of Guyanese rums (Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados), this blend brings out the characteristics of Latin American rums, with those round and greedy notes.
