1931 Rum (2nd Edition) | 70cl

A Limited-Edition Masterpiece Celebrating St. Lucian Heritage

Experience a piece of Caribbean distilling history with the 1931 Rum (2nd Edition). Produced by St. Lucia Distillers, this prestigious special-edition series was created to commemorate the year the Dennery Distillery was founded in the Mabouya Valley. Released as a follow-up to the highly acclaimed inaugural bottling, this 2012 release is a testament to the art of blending and the unique terroir of St. Lucia.

This second edition is a complex "assemblage" of rums, meticulously selected from specific vintages and varied cask types. By marrying rums distilled in 2004, 2005, and 2006, and utilizing both traditional bourbon and rich Port casks, the Master Blender has created a profile of immense depth and sophistication. This is a "connoisseur’s rum," offering a snapshot of a distillery at the peak of its creative powers.

Key Features and Maturation Craft

Vintage Assemblage: A sophisticated blend of rums aged for 6 to 8 years, specifically selected from the 2004, 2005, and 2006 distillations.
Dual Cask Influence: Matured in a combination of American Oak (ex-bourbon) for classic vanilla structure and Port Casks for deep berry and wine-like complexity.
The Final Marriage: Once blended, the rums were married in American white oak for an additional three months to ensure perfect harmony and a silky texture.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Rich and inviting with notes of toasted oak, dried fruits, and a distinct vinous sweetness from the Port casks. Hints of leather and tobacco emerge with time.
- Palate: Full-bodied and complex. Expect a symphony of dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and ripe plums, balanced by the spicy tannins of the American oak.
- Finish: Long, warming, and dry, with lingering notes of spice, cocoa, and a touch of red fruit.
