Karakoli, an aged rum from the Baie des Trésors collection, draws its distinctive character from the dry plots of Spoutourne, located at the tip of the Caravelle peninsula in Martinique. These lands, scarcely exposed to tropical rains, offer ideal conditions for growing cane that is concentrated in aroma and intensity. This very scarcity of water gives Karakoli its unique aromatic richness and structure, highlighting the power of an arid terroir. The 2020 vintage of Karakoli benefited from aging in American oak barrels, a method that enhances round, lightly vanilla notes while preserving the wild and robust soul of the cane. Thanks to this parcel-based approach, every detail of the terroir is fully expressed, elevated by the precise work of the cellar master, Stéphane Gouyer. Thi...
TASTING NOTES :
NOSE: A powerful and complex nose, marked by delicate woody notes enriched with hints of caramelized vanilla and coconut powder, characteristic of American oak. Fresh floral tones unfold, accompanied by dried tobacco and balsamic accents of coffee and chocolate. In the background, spicy touches such as floral pepper and cinnamon balance the ensemble, highlighted by a saffron note that enhances the aromas.
PALATE: A soft and silky attack with an elegant, well-integrated tannic structure. The palate is round and rich, offering strong aromatic intensity with notes of honey, flowers, and roasted nuances. The finish is persistent and indulgent, leaving a fresh and delicately spicy sensation that prolongs the pleasure.

On the Caravelle peninsula, caressed by the trade winds and protected from tropical downpours, the dry parcels of Spoutourne produce extremely subtle rums. The relative arid nature of the location and the wind have created a beautiful concentration of essential aromas, notably floral in the cane, which are particularly present after suitable distillation and ageing. It is a worthy representative of the Martinican tradition of agricultural rum. The ageing process has not erased the natural liveliness of the rum. The beautiful golden colour of Flowers of the Winds suggests a radiant rum, like aromas in flight, and a shower of tropical petals. The nose is delicate, floral, with vanilla accents and a beautiful freshness. Flowers of the Winds combines the ardour of a young rum with th...
Coloma Coffee Smoked 8 years old is a true ode to the Colombian traditions of coffee and rum. Produced at Hacienda Coloma, this unique cuvée blends the heritage of roasted coffee with the elegance of a carefully aged old rum.

This distinctive maturation imparts Coloma Coffee Smoked with a captivating complexity, where vanilla sweetness, caramelized indulgence, and intense smoky mocha notes intertwine. An exceptional encounter between two legendary worlds.
