Samaroli En Équilibre 2018

En Equilibre is a blended release from Samaroli, the historic Italian bottler, drawing together rums from multiple origins into a single harmonised whole. The name points to the house intent, balance over power, and Samaroli's long-held approach of choosing casks for elegance and reducing to a gentle proof.

Bottled at 45% and unsweetened in the continental tradition, this should read composed and layered rather than loud. Expect light oak, soft fruit and gentle spice woven across the blend, a refined sipping rum that reflects the bottler's purist reputation more than any single distillery's signature.
