Fruits des Pluies presents a truly atypical aromatic profile. Despite only a few months spent in cask, it displays characteristics worthy of an aged rum. With remarkable balance and power, it stands out through its fullness and solid aromatic structure. Fruits des Pluies contains no additives of any kind; it is the result of distilling pure sugarcane juice combined with a complex ageing process adapted to its aromatic profile.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE: A fairly sustained and rounded woody expression, with pastry notes, fresh citrus, and exotic fruits. Light floral and soft tones (rose, bergamot) followed by hints of candied fruits.
PALATE: A round, soft, mellow attack, very warm, where strength and smoothness balance each other. The palate is fruity and generous, rich in citrus flavours and exotic fruits. Surprising touches of drier, floral, and sweet notes emerge.
FINISH: Toasted notes (coffee, chocolate), pastry elements, and dried fruits. Long and persistent finish.
