Description
What kind of spirit is this?
Rum Explorer Trinidad by Angostura is a molasses-based gold rum from Trinidad and Tobago with a remarkably structured profile. Bottled at 41% vol., this bright amber spirit undergoes a meticulous triple cask maturation. The nose reveals distinct notes of tobacco, cocoa, and coconut, which gracefully transition towards vanilla and tropical fruit. On the palate, it remains impressively fresh, with highlights of citrus and caramelised orange. The experience concludes with an evolving finish that opens into a long, gently spicy aftertaste.
Where it comes from
The character of this spirit is forged at the Angostura distillery in Trinidad and Tobago, providing a warm Caribbean foundation. The liquid then travels to France for its final refinement by Château du Breuil. This transatlantic journey harmoniously blends vibrant island origins with sophisticated French maturation techniques, drawing on historical Calvados expertise. Conceived as part of an international cask selection project, it showcases a profound historical legacy and authentic regional depth.
How it is produced
Production begins with the fermentation of high-quality molasses using specific yeast strains. Following precise distillation in a column still, the non-chill filtered spirit embarks on a complex maturation journey. The blend first develops its body and structure over 3 to 5 years within ex-Bourbon and ex-Madeira casks. Once it reaches France, the liquid undergoes a targeted refinement in ex-Calvados casks. This careful progression seamlessly integrates rich cocoa and candied citrus elements, resulting in a perfectly balanced spirit.
History and Curiosities
The Rum Explorer project beautifully marries vibrant Caribbean origins with masterful French maturation. Distilled at the renowned Angostura Distillery in Trinidad, this spirit undergoes an exceptional triple-cask ageing process. After maturing for three to five years in ex-Bourbon and ex-Madeira barrels, it is transported to France for an exquisite finish in ex-Calvados casks at Château du Breuil. This rich heritage builds upon Angostura’s 1824 origins and employs unique yeast strains developed by Robert Siegert in 1949.
