Description

Dzama is a Madagascan producer working from sugar cane juice, and this release is an eight year old finished in cognac casks, bottled at 40%. As a Madagascan rum it sits outside the Martinique AOC, so it is best described as agricole-style rather than a protected agricole.

This bottling reads on the softer, sweeter side rather than as a dry cane-juice rum. The cognac finish typically lends grape, dried fruit and a rounded, brandy-like warmth over the aged cane base. At 40% and with a gentle sweetness, it is an easy, approachable pour rather than a firm, dry sipper. One for drinkers who like their island rum mellow and wine-cask softened.
