Chamarel 2008 VO First Edition
Chamarel distillery on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius is a single estate distillery, one of the few in the world still to cultivate its own sugarcane. It was established in 2008 and produces both white rum on a Barbet copper column still, as well as a double distilled rum, produced akin to cognac on two 20HL copper pot stills. The distillate is rested for 6 months in stainless steel, before the ageing stock is warehoused in American and French oak casks, often followed by an interesting selection of experimental wood finishes.
This example was distilled in 2008 and matured 3 years.
