100% black cane, a variety exclusive to the Bologne distillery. This old variety, now forgotten by distillers because of its low yield, is favoured by Bologne for its exceptional aromatic potential. It expresses a "concentrate" of cane. Matured for 12 months in stainless steel vats.
TASTING NOTES :
NOSE: Smooth, with great aromatic complexity, very harmonious. Particularly rich. The first nose is empyreumatic and exotic (cane, mango, passion fruit). It is then supported by the acidity of citrus fruits (lime, orange) before evolving towards white flowers.
PALATE: Sweet, balanced. The fresh cane is extraordinarily well expressed, becoming its very essence. The mid-palate is concentrated, lush, exuberant, and brimming with indulgent fruits: banana, pineapple, mango, pear, with citrus fruits remaining very present.
FINISH: Long and gently spiced (ginger), continuously surprising with its authenticity and depth. Exceptional persistence. The retro-olfaction is floral, impressively delicate, and lingering.
