Eminente – Cuban Rum – Gran Reserva 10 Years – Edition No.2 – Sauternes Finish – 43.2%
Born from the alliance between Cuban authenticity and French savoir-faire, Eminente embodies a modern vision of Cuban rum. Crafted from carefully selected eaux-de-vie and aged for many years under the tropical climate, it revisits tradition while embracing a creative and contemporary approach.
The Gran Reserva 10 Years – Edition No.2 illustrates this philosophy with an unprecedented finishing in Sauternes casks. After ten years of aging in American oak barrels, the rum undergoes several additional months in casks that previously held the famous Bordeaux sweet wine. This finishing brings a noble and aromatic dimension, enriching the classic Cuban profile with soft, honeyed nuances. Bottled at 43.2% ABV, it combines freshness, richness, and complexity.
Its amber robe with golden reflections highlights its elegance. The nose opens with honey, dried apricot, ripe tropical fruits, and fruit paste, enhanced by vanilla notes and a subtle Sauternes sweetness. On the palate, the attack is round and velvety, delivering flavors of dried apricot, caramelized sugarcane, dark chocolate, and gentle spices supported by a fine oak structure. The finish is long and balanced, harmoniously blending vinous sweetness with the typical Cuban rum character, leaving lingering notes of candied fruit and toasted oak.
A rum of character that showcases the art of blending and long aging, appealing to both connoisseurs and adventurous spirits.
