  Expert description

  Compagnie des Indes Dillon 2002/2015 13 Year Martinique Single Cask is a Rhum Agricole from Martinique, distilled from cane juice and matured for 13 years in a single French oak cask, bottled at 44%.

  Compagnie des Indes 2004/2017 Secrete 13 years old Panama Single Cask Rum 70 cl 56.9%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19711

  Panama with no name, but with clear character. Another "Secrete" release from Compagnie des Indes, where the anonymous distillery is compensated by a rum that speaks for itself after 13 years in cask.

  Expert Description

  Compagnie des Indes 2004/2017 Secrete 13 Year is a Panama Rum from a single cask, distilled in 2004, bottled in 2017 at 56.9%.

  The rum is column-distilled from molasses at an undisclosed Panamanian distillery and has since spent 13 years in cask, predominantly in the tropical climate with a smaller share of continental ageing, before being bottled by the French independent bottler Compagnie des Indes. Panama is known for a lighter, more delicate rum style than its neighbours, which this bottling confirms with its relatively bright, yet complex profile.

  The long ageing period has given the rum a depth that balances the wood's spice with a fresh, almost salted caramel character.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Caramel, sweet spices and vanilla, with a hint of coffee, toffee and salted caramel butter along with a touch of citrus fruit.

  Palate

  Soft and velvety with a lush texture, perfectly balanced with well-integrated wood.

  Finish

  Medium length, with salted caramel and a light, toasted wood note.

  Expert Description

  Compagnie des Indes 2005/2018 T.D.L. 13 Year is a Trinidad Rum from a single cask, distilled in 2005, bottled in July 2018 at 45%.

  The rum comes from Trinidad Distillers Limited, often abbreviated T.D.L., the only operating distillery on Trinidad and therefore the mandatory source for any Trinidad rum. After distillation, the rum spent 13 years in cask in the Caribbean, before being selected and bottled by the French independent bottler Compagnie des Indes with no added colour or sweetness.

  T.D.L.'s rum is known for a distinct, medicinal, menthol-like character that makes it easily recognisable among connoisseurs, and which this bottling shows in a mature, well-developed form after over a decade of ageing.

  Nose

  Camphor, menthol and eucalyptus, typical of T.D.L.'s rum.

  Palate

  Stone fruit such as mirabelle plum and vine peach.

  Compagnie des Indes 2007/2017 Secrete 9 years old Jamaica Single Cask Rum 70 cl 54.1%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19709

  A cask whose origin remains a secret. Compagnie des Indes chose to call this Jamaican rum "Secrete" because the distillery behind it doesn't want to be named, but the flavour speaks its own, unmistakable language.

  Expert Description

  Compagnie des Indes 2007/2017 Secrete 9 Year is a Jamaica Rum from a single cask, distilled in 2007, bottled in 2017 at 54.1%.

  The rum is bottled by the French independent bottler Compagnie des Indes, founded in 2014 by Florent Beuchet with the aim of showcasing rum's diversity through authentic, characterful single casks from around the world. This Jamaican edition comes from a cask marked "Secrete", as the distillery behind it is undisclosed, a practice several Jamaican distilleries use to protect their identity from competitors. The rum is bottled without chill filtration and without added colour or sugar, from an outturn of 238 bottles.

  The typical Jamaican "funky" character, with its pronounced ester profile, is clear in this rum, where tropical cask ageing has produced a powerful, fruity intensity.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Unmistakably Jamaican with banana, molasses and canned pineapple, complemented by a light, rubbery note.

  Palate

  Lime peel and tropical fruit open, followed by a light touch of oak, vanilla syrup and almond.

  The blend is assembled by the French independent bottler Compagnie des Indes, without additives, bringing together rum from four very different Caribbean traditions in a single bottle. The result is a rum that attempts to gather the best of several styles rather than cultivate one single distillery character, making it a good starting point for understanding the breadth of Caribbean rum.

  Palate

  Rock candy, molasses and a hint of fruit brandy, supported by caramel, honey and spiced oak.

  Compagnie des Indes Boulet de Canon No. 6 Ex-peated Whisky Barrels Rum 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 22227865416-18733

  A cannonball of rum, forced through peated whisky casks for half a year, this is not a random title but a very precise description of what awaits in the glass.

  Expert description

  Compagnie des Indes Boulet de Canon No. 6 is a Blended Rum composed of matured distillates from Nicaragua and Panama, finished for 6 months in ex-peated Islay whisky casks and bottled at 46%.

  The blend is released by the French independent bottler Compagnie des Indes as a limited edition, bottled in 2018. The Central American rum base provides a round, fruity foundation, which is then given a pronounced smoky layer from the previously peated Islay whisky casks, a combination unusual even within Compagnie des Indes' experimental Boulet de Canon series.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Exotic and fruity, with spices such as pepper and curry, finishing with a subtle smoky tone.

  Palate

  Smooth to start with hazelnut and praline, developing mid-palate into a vegetal, full-bodied character.

  Finish

  Delicately roasted and smoky.

  Compagnie des Indes Boulet de Canon No. 8 Spiced Panama Rum 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0002

  Cannonball is the name of this series from the French bottling house, and with a 12-month finish in peated Islay Whisky casks, edition number 8 fully lives up to the name's power.

  Expert Description

  Compagnie des Indes Boulet de Canon No. 8 Spiced Panama Rom is a Panama & Nicaragua Rum, a blend mostly 3-5 years old with a touch of 8-year-old rum, bottled at 46%.

  The Boulet de Canon series from French bottler Compagnie des Indes is characterised by whisky-cask finishing, and number 8 in the line spends 12 months in casks that previously held peated Islay Whisky. This gives this South American rum an unusual smoky, vegetal character, more reminiscent of an autumn walk through the forest than a classic Caribbean rum.

  The result is a full-bodied, complex rum where smoke and vegetal notes meet classic rum sweetness in an unusual combination.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Fruity and smoky with vegetal aromas, moss on tree trunks and the scent of a wood-burning stove.

  Palate

  Vegetal with thyme, cress and rooty notes, supported by coffee grounds and a pronounced bitterness.

  Finish

  Smoky and toasted with liquorice and toasted almonds.

  Compagnie des Indes Jamaica 5 years old Rum 70 cl 43%

  Item no.: 22227865416-323

  Jamaica is known for its "funk," the wild, fermentation-driven character that gets rum enthusiasts obsessing over the island's distillates. Here it appears in its most accessible form.

  Expert description

  Compagnie des Indes Jamaica 5 Year is a Rum from Jamaica, pot still distilled and matured for 5 years in bourbon casks, bottled at 43%.

  The rum is assembled by the French independent bottler Compagnie des Indes from distillates sourced at Clarendon and Worthy Park, two of Jamaica's most acclaimed distilleries. Five years of maturation in bourbon casks gives the classic Jamaican "funk" an accessible frame, focusing on pot still character rather than heavy smoke, making it a good introduction to the island's rum style for those new to the category.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Fruity and floral, with banana, plum, apricot, elderflower and chamomile.

  Palate

  A slightly burnt tone, balanced by sweetness from apricot, pear, raisins, grapes and honey.

  Finish

  Fresh and elegant, with a well-balanced dryness, toasted bread and honey.

  Compagnie des Indes Oktoberum 5 years old Jamaica Rum 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 22227865416-18121

  Some rums are made to resemble something familiar. Oktoberum is made to surprise, a Jamaican rum sent through three completely unexpected cask types.

  Expert description

  Compagnie des Indes Oktoberum is a Blended Rum from Jamaica, at least 5 years old and bottled at 46%.

  The rum is assembled by the French independent bottler Compagnie des Indes from several Jamaican rums, all at least 5 years old. What sets Oktoberum apart is the extra maturation the blend undergoes: first five years in casks that previously held Macvin and Vin Jaune, then further maturation in whisky casks, and finally a period in beer casks. The three shifting cask types give the rum a golden, slightly hazy appearance and a character that is harder to pin down than most standard expressions from the island.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Pear and honey, alongside a lightly smoky, empyreumatic note from the unusual casks.

  Palate

  Lively and powerful, with a clear Jamaican ester character and a light smoky undertone.

  Finish

  Lingering, with a hint of smoke and honey that fades slowly.

  Expert description

  Compagnie des Indes Boulet de Canon No. 7 Spiced With Smoky Aromas is a Spiced Rum infused with smoked jujube dates, cloves, pink pepper and guaiac wood, bottled at 46%.

  The Boulet de Canon series, named after cannonballs as a nod to the British Navy and the smell of gunpowder, is French independent bottler Compagnie des Indes' spiced sideline to its pure single cask releases. Number 7 is built around smoked jujube dates and a secret spice blend, giving the rum a deep, almost grilled character, far from the sweet vanilla style often associated with spiced rum.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Smooth and spicy, evoking an oriental market, with a hint of animal character and whiffs of grilled meat.

  Palate

  Full and rich from the start, with fruity aromas and soft spiciness that slowly warms, supported by toasted and grilled nuances.
