RIVIERE DU MAT - Private Cask 2006 - Single Cask n°2026 - Cuvée Confrérie du Rhum - 50%
Founded in 1886, Rivière du Mât is one of the oldest distilleries on Reunion Island still in operation today. The Rivière du Mât Distillery takes its name from an ancient legend: a ship that left to explore the island ran aground in a river bed, leaving its mast in sight for years. Located in Saint-Benoît, on the east coast of the island, the Distillery makes rums from molasses from sugar cane plantations on volcanic soil which, combined with the pure waters of the rivers of the East, will bring to the stages fermentation and distillation of singular aromatic tones revealing all the rich expression of the Reunion terroir.
Crafted for the Confrérie du Rhum, this vintage cuvée is a reflection of the Rivière du Mât Distillery’s expertise in the art of blending and ageing. It was refined in their Saint-Louis cellars in the southwest.
