Old Brothers - Bielle Blanc Premium - Passion White Rum - 59.59%
The history of Old Brothers dates back to 2004, when the friendship between Anthony Martins and Julien Leroux was born during their meeting in the Army and the many missions around the world that they carried out together. Anthony Martins trained at the Paris wine school and, having obtained a wine cellar sommelier diploma, he created "La Source" , a cellar specializing in spirits, in Toulouse in December 2015. Quickly, the idea to open an independent bottling company is set up and the structure opens in November 2016. They travel the world's distilleries and bring back the best expressions of distillation. Old Brothers bottles are numbered by hand, the vegetable cord that adorns the neck is placed by Anthony and Julien. The tag is held on by a ribbon, sealed with a wax seal bearing the logo of a compass that has represented their travels around the world for years.
The 59°59 is the result of the collaboration between Old Brothers, the Bielle distillery of Marie-Galante and the Rhum Blanc Passion Facebook group. The rum is made from pure cane juice, distilled in a column and in a Muller pot still. The resulting 86.3% rum is reduced with rainwater from Marie-Galante. It is left to rest for 18 months in stainless steel vats before bottling.
