Only 750 bottles of this pearl exist, double distilled several days apart after a long fermentation, and bottled with no reduction at all at its natural strength.
Expert Description
A1710 La Perle 2021 Rhum Blanc Extraordinaire is a Martinique Rhum Agricole, distilled from fresh sugar cane juice and bottled unaged at its natural strength of 54.5%.
La Perle comes from the same small distillery as Diamond Rock, but differs through a longer fermentation process of 5 to 7 days, giving a more complex distillate. The sugar cane juice, called vesou, is double distilled several days apart and bottled with no reduction, preserving the distillate's natural strength and every nuance from the long fermentation. Only 750 bottles of this limited release were drawn in 2021.
The result is a gentle, unctuous rhum with remarkable depth for an unaged white rum.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Floral and fruity with freshly pressed cane juice, developing towards spiced tones, lychee and guava.
Palate
Soft and unctuous with lime, sugar cane and pear, supported by a balanced iodine note.
Finish
Very round with fine length and rich aromatics of papaya and cooked banana.
