The Tessendier family has been producing Cognac for four generations, but here we see cellar masters, and brothers, Jérôme and Lilian Tessendier applying their aging and blending skills to a different spirit – rum! The blend combines rum from Barbados and Trinidad, each matured in bourbon barrels in their native climate for five years before shipping to Charente to spend 12 months marrying in Cognac barrels. Finally, the rum spends three months in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, imparting a magnificent boost to its already fruit-forward profile.
Elegant layers of berries and stewed cherries open the way, joined by dried stone fruits and candied pineapple. Ginger and cinnamon bring a touch of warmth, with sherry sweetness trickling throughout.
Considering the low price this is a really nice rum
