A Cognac-finished island blend from French house Les Bienheureux at a gentle 40%, soft and orchard-rich with butterscotch, vanilla and cinnamon laid over candied fruit and coffee, fading on a leathery, dried-fruit and oak finish.
Description
Thoreau Rhum and Cognac is a blended rum from Les Bienheureux, the French outfit behind the Bellevoye whisky range, here marrying Caribbean rum built on pot and column stills with a finishing stay in Cognac casks. It carries no age statement and is bottled at a gentle 40%, squarely in the rounded, gourmand idiom.
The Cognac stamp defines it. The nose is fragrant with butterscotch, vanilla, cinnamon and milk chocolate, evoking an orchard in fruit, while the palate brings vanilla, candied fruit, coffee and a woody edge. The finish lingers on dried fruit, leather and oak. This is a soft, fruity, lightly sweet-tasting assemblage where cane and wood sit back and the brandy influence leads, made for slow after-dinner sipping rather than for power or funk. Drinkers who enjoy the overlap between aged rum and Cognac will find it an easy, fragrant pour.
