Twelve Whisky d’Aubrac Rhum Rare Réunion & Jamaica (Whisky Cask Finish)

This Rhum Rare from Twelve Whisky d'Aubrac blends molasses rum from Reunion and Jamaica and finishes it in whisky casks, a bold French assembly bottled at a powerful 63.5%. The pairing of two ester rich origins with a whisky cask makes for an assertive, unconventional overproof.

The Jamaican component brings the funk, an estery, medicinal, acidic streak with banana and tropical fruit, while the whisky cask presses forward from the first sniff and the high strength amplifies everything. The finish stays tropical on banana and pineapple with lingering spice. Bottled at cask strength without sweetening, it is uncompromising and needs water and patience to open. This is a rum for those who actively enjoy whisky influence and high ester intensity in one glass, a niche, demanding pour rather than an easy sipper.
