This white rum is fermented using a traditional method, making it a unique (re)discovery for aficionados. As a Grand Arôme rum, its production requires extended fermentation, and the secret of Lontan is rooted in the very popular artisan rums produced by 18th-century sugar refineries. Only four distilleries in the world have been able to succeed in performing the subtle alchemy to make such a rum. Characterised by spices and ripe fruit, there is a fine expression here of the aromas found in molasses – or ‘sugar cane honey’ as it is known – which are revealed using traditional methods in a very long, mixed fermentation process, which has been skilfully mastered.
TASTING NOTES :

PALATE : Smooth. Floral (violet). Sweet, with notes of licorice. It gradually reveals a vegetal character (fern).
FINISH : Long, rich. It offers pleasant notes of sugarcane. Floral (violet, purple lilac).
