Arhumatic Banane-Cacao (Criollo)

Arhumatic Banane-Cacao, the Criollo bottling, is a flavoured rhum in the French arrangé tradition, made by macerating banana and cacao in an agricole cane-juice base from Guadeloupe and sweetening. It sits at the indulgent, dessert end of the French-island range rather than among dry agricoles.

No formal tasting notes are recorded, so the copy keeps to the concept. As a banana-cacao arrangé, expect ripe banana and rich chocolate over the grassy cane base, with the sweetness typical of the style, at a moderate 29%. It is best served chilled in small measures as an after-dinner pour rather than sipped neat for the rum itself.
