Crafted exclusively from 100% Mauritian molasses, Bougainville XO is a bold and opulent premium rum. It undergoes cool fermentation (18-24°C) for 10-14 days before meticulous distillation in single batches using unique hybrid 400-litre copper pot stills. The spirit emerges at 79-83% ABV, carefully reduced to 70% ABV for optimal maturation.
Aged for a minimum of six years in prized 600-litre Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, it develops profound character. The aroma presents an intricate, heady bouquet of prunes, raisins, dried fruits, and tobacco, enriched by rich oak notes from the sherry wood. On the palate, it's velvety and luxurious, unfolding generous layers of toffee, caramel, and tobacco. The distinct sherry cask influence imparts delightful warmth and complexity, elevating the rum's inherent richness. The finish is exceptionally long and tantalising, culminating in a satisfyingly zesty, dry conclusion that lingers elegantly. Discover this superbly aged, sherry-cask-finished spirit.
