BAY OF TREASURES - Karakoli 2019 - 52%
Baies des Trésors is a brand of local rum from Martinique , made from the distillation of freshly pressed cane juice. In Martinique, the sugar cane fields of Exploitation Agricole du Galion extend over the Caravelle peninsula and the surrounding area. These lands of volcanic origin, ideal for growing cane, have been cultivated for a very long time, and have demonstrated their remarkable quality. But they are far from uniform: depending on exposure to the trade winds, rain and sun, the cane presents very significant differences. This is how a simple idea was born, familiar to all wine or Cognac lovers: the different plots of the Exploitation Agricole du Galion, its mosaic of terroirs, offer magnificent experimental grounds for rum creators. wanting to achieve high levels of quality and above all to express the very essence of a terroir, in all its nuances and originality.
Karakoli is the first old rum from the distillery. It comes from the Spoutourne plot, one of the driest on the estate. The scarcity of water in the weeks preceding the harvest results in a high aromatic concentration of the cane.
