LaMaunyXORhumVieuxAgricole(700mL)

<p>A delicious, complex bend of aged Rums from Maison de Mauny in Martinique.</p><p>In <em>1749</em>, <em>Ferdinand Poulain</em>, Count de Mauny, traveled from France to Martinique in the Caribbean. He married the daughter of a sugar plantation owner on the south side of the island. By <em>1820</em> they had installed a distillery on site and have begun to make Rum and Tafia (a low, un-aged sugarcane liquor). The plantation and distillery have greatly <em>expanded</em> over the years, and today they offer a <em>wide range</em> of Rums — from clear mixers through <em>premium aged spirits</em>.</p><p>One of the benefits of producing Rum on the same plantation for <em>two hundred years</em> is that you build up a huge inventory in your storage rick-houses. <em>La Mauny XO Rhum Vieux Agricole</em> is a blend of <em>twelve</em> La Mauny Rums — the youngest of which is seven years old. But the average age is ten years. The develops a very consistent, <em>premium drinking experience</em>. And since these are all Agricole Rums, the spirit is more influenced by its environment and again process.</p><p><u>Smartass corner:</u><em>Agricole Rhum is also known as French-style Rum. It’s made from 100% fresh-pressed cane juice with no molasses.</em></p>
