FAIR. Extra Old Rum | 70cl

Ethical Excellence: The World’s First Fair Trade Certified Rum

FAIR. Extra Old Rum is a standout spirit from the world’s first line of premium Fair Trade certified spirits. This ethical masterpiece is born in the lush fields of Belize, where the sugar cane is grown using organic and sustainable farming methods by over 6,000 small-scale farmers from the Belize Sugar Cane Farmers Association. After traditional fermentation and distillation, the rum is aged for a minimum of 5 years in American oak barrels (ex-Kentucky Bourbon) in the tropical Belizean heat before being shipped to France for bottling.

The result is a rum that balances social responsibility with exceptional craftsmanship. It is celebrated for its "clean" and approachable profile, steering clear of excessive added sugars to let the natural maturation and quality of the Belizean cane shine through. It is an ideal entry-point for those looking to explore high-quality aged rums while supporting a sustainable future for Caribbean producers.

Key Features and Ethical Origins

Fair Trade Certified: Every bottle ensures that farmers in Belize receive a fair price for their crops and a "Fair Trade Premium" for community development projects.
Aged in Bourbon Barrels: The 5-year tropical maturation in American oak imparts classic notes of vanilla and toasted wood without the need for artificial flavorings.
Expertly Bottled in France: After aging, the rum is brought to the Cognac region of France to be finished and bottled with the same precision as the brand's famous FAIR. Quinoa Vodka.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Aromatic and inviting. Notes of roasted coffee, chocolate, and banana are layered over a warm foundation of oak and soft vanilla.
- Palate: Well-structured and smooth. Expect a rich blend of butterscotch, toffee, and orange peel, balanced by spicy hints of cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Finish: Medium to long and surprisingly dry. It leaves a lingering impression of roasted cocoa and a subtle, floral freshness.
